1. Stage

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Brush about 2 tablespoons olive oil onto eggplant slices; arrange in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.

Arrange about 1/2 the eggplant slices in a 2-quart casserole dish; top with 1/2 the sauce, 1/2 the mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 the Parmesan cheese. Repeat layering with the remaining ingredients.
