  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  • Slice the eggplants thinly lengthwise, cover them with coarse salt, and let them sit for 15 minutes on a rack to remove their acidity. You will notice they begin to release a bit of dark juice. Drain on absorbent paper and set aside until use.
  • In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion along with the garlic until they take on a shiny tone; add the tomatoes, tomato puree, and basil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Pour a little olive oil into a baking dish, place a layer of sliced eggplants, and drizzle a bit more olive oil over them, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover the surface of the eggplants with tomato sauce until covered, place sliced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and Zwan® Ham; repeat until your dish is full and add grated Zwan® manchego cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 180 °C.
  • Remove from the oven, slice, and serve hot.
