- Continue layering with the rest of the sauce, eggplant, and cheese, finishing with a layer of cheese. Sprinkle dried basil over the top.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden brown, approximately 35 minutes.

- Try mozzarella or provolone cheese for a unique taste.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce for a hint of spiciness.
