Instructions
- Slice eggplant 1/2 inch thick creating 15 slices. Lay the eggplant on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and let them sweat all of the bitter liquid for 30-45 minutes. Pat with a paper towel to dry.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl add the flour, another small bowl add the Panko, 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. In the last small bowl whisk together the eggs.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip the eggplant first in the flour, second in the egg, and last in the Panko. Lay in an even layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes flipping halfway through and bake until crispy and brown.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish spread 1/2 cup of the marinara in the bottom. Lay half of the eggplant on top of the sauce. Top with 2 cups of marinara sauce and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layer and end with mozzarella cheese and sprinkle 1/4 cup grated parmesan on the very top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked throughout and the cheese is bubbly. Serve with chopped basil for garnish if desired.
