A delightful dish featuring crispy eggplant slices layered with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggplants, sliced
  • Salt, for sweating the eggplant
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sprinkle salt on the eggplant slices and let them sit for 30 minutes to release excess moisture. Rinse and pat them dry.
  3. Dip each eggplant slice in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Spread a layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish, followed by fried eggplant, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers and finish with cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

To save time, use store-bought marinara sauce.
