Serves 2

Takes 50 mins

Cost per serve £2.41

2 aubergines, halved lengthways

200g pack mozzarella & slow-roasted tomatoes

1 slice crusty white bread, cut into cubes

1 tsp balsamic glaze

45g watercress

1 Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Put the aubergines, cut-side up, on a shallow baking tray. Score deeply, then drizzle with the oil from the slow-roasted tomato pack. Squish 2 tomatoes onto each aubergine half, gently massaging into the scored lines; season. Bake for 35 mins.

2 Halve the mozzarella balls and arrange over the cooked aubergine halves along with the remaining tomatoes. Bake for 5 mins, then add the cubed bread to the tray around the aubergine. Bake for 5 mins more until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted. Scatter the bread over the aubergine, drizzle with the balsamic glaze and serve with the watercress. Each
