Here is another quick, easy weeknight dinner filled with vegetables that your family will love!

This is a comforting meatless dish that includes layers of tomatoes, eggplant, and mushrooms topped with lots of melted cheese!

I hope you love it as much as we do!

 

Entertaining:  I have served this to guests for a light lunch with a salad of mesclun greens, paired with a light rose wine…so good!

Enjoy!
