Add tomato sauce, basil, and oregano; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

    Arrange about 1/2 of the eggplant slices in a 2-quart casserole dish; top with 1/2 of the sauce, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients.

    Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubby, about 25 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
