This is The BEST Keto lasagna recipe!

I had such a craving for something ooey and gooey this weekend. I’m really focusing on prioritizing my health and following a keto diet so I also wanted something that fit yet feed the whole family too. I was looking through my cupboard and I had on hand a jar of sauce and in the fridge two eggplants. Of course, an eggplant lasagna came to mind. I sent Scott to the grocery store and when he returned home I realized I left the ricotta off the shopping list!! Dugh!! Well, after I looked in my fridge I saw a big tub of sour cream and hence the rest is history as they say!!!

I chose two rather large and plump eggplants

Something that I do a little differently is slicing them rather thin and blot them with paper towels. This is definitely a taste thing, if you prefer a more “meaty bite” go for it and slice them thicker!!

Next line a baking sheet with parchment and spray with olive oil. I then lay them out, spray the tops with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and stack them when necessary. Place in a 400-degree preheated oven for 15 minutes

I like to truly roast the eggplants, I feel it gives them a depth of flavor they otherwise would not have

While they are roasting. Mix together the remaining ingredients; egg, sour cream, mozzarella (leaving some to sprinkle the top), parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, fresh basil, and pepper in a large bowl or food processor. I sometimes add a few tablespoons of cream cheese if I have any on hand)

 

I prefer shredding my own cheese, it really does make a difference

When the eggplant is done coat the bottom of the casserole dish or baking dish with marinara sauce or tomato sauce (try to use a rich spaghetti sauce)

 

Layer the eggplant (I sometimes cook ground turkey or hot Italian sausage or grass-fed beef on medium heat with diced red onions in a cast iron skillet for a heartier recipe and layer the meat mixture or beef mixture into the Italian casserole)

 

Layer with the cheese mixture, repeating until you reach the top. Cover in sauce and the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese

 

This is one of my favorite casserole recipes to enjoy with cauliflower rice or a simple salad for a complete meal. It’s such an easy dinner for busy nights and one of my favorite low carb meals. It’s such a great alternative to pizza night! It almost gives the feeling of an easy pizza casserole recipe, its such an easy keto recipe

Store any leftovers in an airtight container or with plastic wrap. Honestly, for best results is even better the next day.
