Layer cooked eggplant slices with béchamel sauce and, if you like, cheese in a baking dish. Finish with sauce and cheese, then bake until the eggplant is tender and the top is golden. Pre-cooking the eggplant helps keep the finished dish from turning watery.
Usually, no: sliced eggplant takes the place of lasagna noodles. Some versions combine eggplant with pasta sheets, but that makes a different, more pasta-forward dish. Check the recipe’s layering instructions before preparing the eggplant.
Cook the eggplant slices before layering and let excess moisture evaporate or blot it away. Also avoid a very thin béchamel or watery tomato sauce. Let the baked lasagna rest briefly before cutting so the layers can settle.
Yes, roasting or otherwise cooking the eggplant first is a reliable choice. It softens the slices and reduces the moisture they release in the oven. Arrange the slices in a single layer so they cook evenly, then add them to the béchamel layers.
Yes, you can assemble eggplant lasagna with béchamel ahead and refrigerate it before baking. Keep it covered, and bake it until the center is hot and the top is browned. If baking it straight from the refrigerator, allow extra time for it to heat through.
Mozzarella gives eggplant lasagna with béchamel a soft, stretchy layer, while Parmesan adds a salty, browned top. You can use either or combine them. Pat fresh mozzarella dry first, since excess moisture can make the layers wet.
Serve eggplant lasagna with béchamel with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or a simple tomato salad. Fresh, lightly dressed sides balance the creamy sauce without competing with the eggplant layers.
Yes, you can freeze it after baking and cooling, preferably in individual portions. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat until hot throughout. The eggplant and béchamel may be softer or release a little moisture after freezing.
Cooked eggplant lasagna with béchamel keeps for about three to four days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and make sure it is hot throughout before serving.
Yes, cooked ground meat can be layered with the eggplant, béchamel, and cheese. A tomato-based meat sauce works well; cook it until thick rather than leaving it runny, so the lasagna holds its shape after baking.

Eggplant Lasagna with Béchamel is a baked, lasagna-style dish layered with eggplant and creamy béchamel, often finished with cheese. It draws on Italian lasagna, with eggplant taking a starring role in this variation; recipes may differ in whether they include pasta sheets.
The layers turn tender beneath a golden top, with the mild, slightly sweet eggplant balancing the rich sauce. Serve it hot as a main, with a crisp salad or simply dressed greens; it also works well for a meat-free family meal. It provides some fibre, though it is not especially protein-rich. For a lighter version, roast or grill the eggplant rather than frying it, and use a restrained hand with the béchamel and cheese.
