Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • Salt, for sweating the eggplant

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the eggplant slices and let sit for about 30 minutes.
  3. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.
  4. Dip each eggplant slice into the flour, shaking off any excess, followed by the beaten eggs and breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the eggplant slices for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  6. Layer the fried eggplant slices with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan in a baking dish.

Notes

For a healthier twist, consider oven-baking the breaded eggplant instead of frying.
