A casserole is, by and large, any product gathered together under an egg-milk mixture. A particularly tasty casserole will turn out if the products are in harmony with each other or add the taste and aroma of the main ingredient.
For example, you will definitely like a casserole of thin slices of potatoes with aromatic cheese sauce, because it also contains cheese and cream for a soft, rich taste.
How long it takes to cook a potato casserole in the microwave depends on the thickness (the thinner, the faster) of the potato pieces. The casserole is best eaten hot, freshly prepared, sprinkled with finely chopped herbs.

Place the quantity of all products by eye, since everyone has different ovens, and accordingly, the plates in them are different. Just make sure the layers are even.
You can sprinkle a little herbs on top of the eggplants. Then layer onion and sprinkle it with herbs, add salt and sprinkle with spices, such as pepper. Place tomato slices on top and drizzle a little oil (just a little) onto each slice.
