Eggplant Feta Casserole

A friend of mine emailed me this recipe it sounds delicious for the summer
I thought I would post it

Eggplant Feta Casserole
1 large eggplant, peeled and cut int 1/2 inch slices
cooking spray
1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup fresh parsley,
minced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
3 large eggs, beaten
1 large onion, finely chopped (I used red)
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon dry oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1 pinch cayenne

Heat oven to 300°F Spray oil a casserole dish (I used a low oval one). Spray oil a large frying pan and heat over high heat. Place eggplant slices in a single layer (you may have to do 2 batches). Cook for 3-5 minutes each side until browned. Place in prepared casserole dish evenly across the bottom (some may overlap). Pour stewed tomatoes over eggplant in an even layer, then feta, parsley and cilantro (in that order). In a small bowl, combine eggs, onion, salt, pepper, allspice, oregano, sage and cayenne. Pour evenly over items in casserole dish.Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 10-20 minutes until firm. Serve hot or cold.
