VEGETARIAN TORTILLA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the squash on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Bake until just soft, about 10 minutes, flipping the squash once about halfway through. Combine the mozzarella, Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
• Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange 4 of the tortillas in the bottom of the dish so they overlap and top with the squash and half the scallions. Drizzle 1/3 cup of the salsa verde over the vegetables and top with 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Add another 4 overlapping tortillas, top with the sliced tomatoes and spinach, drizzle 1/3 cup of the remaining salsa verde over the vegetables and top with half of the remaining cheese mixture. Finish building the casserole with the remaining 4 tortillas, salsa verde and cheese mixture. Bake, uncovered, until the casserole is golden brown and hot, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with the remaining scallions.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the eggplant on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Bake 15 minutes, until softened and browned. Remove from the heat.

Reduce the heat to medium, add the tomato, parsley, and salt to taste, and cook, stirring often, until the mixture begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Preheat the broiler. Beat the eggs until frothy and season with a scant 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat in the pan to medium-high and pour in the eggs. Shake the pan and lift the edges of the eggs as they set, tilting the pan to distribute them and let them run underneath the mixture. When the eggs have just about set, transfer the pan to the preheated broiler, about 3 inches from the heat. Leave under the broiler until the top of the tortilla is set, then remove from the heat and allow to cool in the pan, then slide onto a plate or platter. Cut into wedges and serve.
