Sprinkle a third of the breadcrumbs over the base of the dish. Cover with a layer of aubergine, then courgette, then potato and then tomato, seasoning each layer as you go. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of tomato.
Heat oven to 190C, 170C fan, 375F, gas 5. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil, scatter the remaining breadcrumbs over the top, drizzle with the remaining oil. Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked and the top is nicely browned.
