How to make Aubergine Rollatini

Preheat oven to 177°C. Spray 3 baking sheets and one 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Place flour in 1 wide shallow bowl, eggs in second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with 120g Parmesan cheese in another. Sprinkle each aubergine slice with salt and pepper. Coat each slice with flour, then beaten egg, and finally breadcrumb mixture. Arrange aubergine slices in single layer on prepared sheets. Bake aubergine in batches until coating is golden, turning after 15 minutes, about 30 minutes total. Cool on sheets.

Mix mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, basil, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese in medium bowl. Season filling with salt and pepper. Divide filling among aubergine slices (about 45ml per slice); spread evenly. Starting at 1 short end, roll up aubergine slices, enclosing filling. Arrange rolls, seam side down, in prepared baking dish. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)

Preheat oven to 177°C. Spoon marinara sauce over rolls; sprinkle with remaining 80g Parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered until rollatini are heated through and mozzarella cheese melts, about 30 minutes.
