Créer la garniture au fromage parfaite
While the eggplant bakes, prepare the ricotta filling that makes this eggplant rollatini recipe so irresistible. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with 60g (half) of the mozzarella cheese and 30g (half) of the Parmesan cheese. Add the egg, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and several grinds of fresh black pepper.
Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly until completely smooth and well-combined. The mixture should be creamy and easily spreadable. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed – the filling should be well-seasoned since it’s the heart of each baked eggplant rollatini.
Assembling the Rollatini
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the bottom of a 23x33cm (9×13-inch) baking dish. This sauce layer prevents the rolls from sticking and adds extra flavor to the bottom of each serving.
