Vegetable-Packed Cheesy Bake
Use plenty of vegetables like potatoes, zucchini, and eggplant, sauté them well, then top with plenty of melting cheese and put in the oven.
This is a simple cheesy bake where the cheese melts and the flavors of the vegetables are concentrated.
If you make a large batch, you can also use it for leftovers the next day.
[Ingredients] (Makes a generous amount)
Potatoes... 6
Onions... 2
Zucchini... 1
Eggplant... 2
Shimeji mushrooms... 1 pack
Coarse salt... 1 teaspoon (for rubbing)
Salt, white pepper... a little of each
Olive oil... as needed
Melting cheese... 1 bag
[Instructions]
Preparation
Wash and boil the potatoes, then peel them and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the onions, remove the tops and roots, cut in half, slice into 1cm widths, and then cut into thirds.
Remove the ends of the zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, chop into irregular pieces, and place in a plastic bag.
Remove the ends of the eggplant, cut in half lengthwise, chop into irregular pieces, and place in a plastic bag.
Sprinkle coarse salt over the zucchini and eggplant, rub it in, tie the bag shut, and let sit for about 20 minutes.
Separate the shimeji mushrooms into small clusters.
Once the zucchini and eggplant have released plenty of moisture, drain them in a colander, rinse lightly, and pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Sauté
Heat olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onions and shimeji mushrooms, cooking until the moisture has evaporated.
Add the potatoes, zucchini, and eggplant, sauté, and season with salt and white pepper.
* Let any leftover vegetables cool before placing them in a storage container and keeping them in the refrigerator.
3. Bake
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a heat-resistant dish and top with plenty of melting cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 250°C for about 8 minutes.
Once the cheese is lightly browned, it's ready!
[Quick Tip]
While I baked this in the oven with cheese this time, it is also delicious to eat as is.
