Ingredients:
2 lg eggplants, sliced into 1/4 inch discs
1 lb Fresh mozzarella, sliced or shredded
1 lb Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese/Parmesan cheese, shredded
2-3 cups Italian Breadcrumbs, I prefer Progresso
2 lg eggs, beaten
Sea Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
Fresh chopped Basil for Garnish
Directions:
Prepare your marinara sauce.
Rinse and slice eggplant into 1/4 inch disks, salt each disk well on both sides and lay flat onto a paper towel for 30 minutes. This will tenderize the eggplant and remove excess moisture.
Beat eggs in a small bowl, in another small bowl place the breadcrumbs and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a med/large skillet until hot but not smoking. Dip eggplant into egg mixture then dredge with breadcrumbs, brown on both sides and place on a paper towel or large piece of parchment paper to drain excess oil. Continue until all eggplant is browned, set aside.
In a large baking dish line bottom of pan with a layer of sauce, place a layer of eggplant, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and sauce, repeat steps until done ending with the mozzarella cheese.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Plating pour a little sauce over each portion, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and and fresh basil.
From my home to yours, enjoy!
