    Ingredients

    •    6 organic large eggs

    •    2 medium eggplants

    •    10 ounce of fresh spinach

    •    1 cup of marinara sauce

    •    1½ cup of feta cheese

    •    ½ cup of parmesan cheese

    •    1 cup of mozzarella cheese

    •    ¼ cup of melted butter

    •    ½ tsp of salt

    Instructions

    •    Preheat the oven to 400 °F.

    •    Cut the eggplant into ½ inch slices, and place on a baking sheet.

    •    Pour the melted butter over the eggplant slices, and season with salt.

    •    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. When done cooking, remove from oven and place aside.  Lower the oven temperature to 350 °F.

    •    Blanch the fresh spinach, remembering to place in cold water after cooking.  Strain the leaves from the water, and press the spinach to remove any excess liquid.

    •    Crack one egg and add to a separate bowl.  Season with a pinch of salt.

    •    Pour it into a hot pan that has been greased with melted butter and swirl it around so as to create a very thin layer of cooked egg. Cook it for a minute or so until you feel that the top has firmed.

    •    Now place it on a plate and repeat the process with the remaining eggs.

    •    Begin assembling the lasagna by first stacking two of the cooked eggs on a plate.

    •    Spread 1/3 of the marinara sauce on the top of the stacked eggs, and then add 1/3 of the eggplant slices.

    •    Now, add ½ of the mozzarella cheese, ½ of the spinach, and ½ of the feta cheese. Then top it with 2 more layers of cooked egg.

    •    Repeat the layering process, ending with the last 2 layers of cooked egg on top.

    •    Then add the remaining 1/3 marinara and 1/3 eggplants to top off the lasagna.

    •    Bake it for 25 minutes.

    •    Set aside to cool.

    •    Serve.
