directions

  • Cut eggplants lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices.
  • Lay the slices out on paper towels to remove all the moisture. In a wide, shallow bowl, combine flour and breadcrumbs. Mix well. Pour beaten eggs into another wide shallow bowl. Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat, and pour in a a half inch of olive oil. When oil is shimmering, dredge the eggplant slices first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten egg. Working in batches, slide coated eggplant into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F In the bottom of a 10x15 inch glass baking dish, spread 1 cup of tomato sauce. Top with one third of the eggplant slices. Top eggplant with half of the mozzarella slices. Sprinkle with one third of the Parmesan and half of the basil leaves.
  • Make a second layer of eggplant slices, topped by 1 cup of sauce, remaining mozzarella, half the remaining Parmesan, and all of the remaining basil. Add remaining eggplant, and top with the remaining tomato sauce and Parmesan.
  • Bake until cheese has melted and the top is slightly brown.
  • Allow to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.

  1. Loved the taste of the eggplant parmesan! It was a little watery, but tasted wonderful. Made for My Three Chefs and had a dinner party serving this, it was a hit.
