  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.

  5. Layer the cooked eggplant in the pie dish, followed by fresh tomato slices, and pour the egg mixture over the layers.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.
  8. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing, and garnish with fresh herbs.
