* 250g low fat ricotta cheese
* 2 eggs, lightly beaten
* 1/2 cup grated tasty cheese

Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Serves: 4-6

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cook potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling water for 15 minutes, or until tender.

Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a saucepan. Cook eggplant until golden on both sides. Drain on absorbent paper.

Heat remaining oil in saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add capsicum and zucchini, cook for 4 minutes. Stir in Baked Beans and oregano. Mix well. Set aside.

Layer half the sliced potatoes in a lightly greased (2.5 litre) casserole dish. Top with half the eggplant and half the bean mixture. Repeat.

Mix together ricotta and eggs, spread over top layer. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden. Serve with a green salad.

HINT: A great idea to add a variation to this recipe, is to fry off 250g lamb or beef mince prior to adding the Baked Beans.
