Baked Eggplant Parmesan Recipe
Report
This is my mom's famous recipe for eggplant parm and it is both EASY and HEALTHY because it's baked NOT fried! The best eggplant parmesan recipe ever!
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs or more as needed
- 3 eggs
- 1 very large or two medium eggplants about 3-31/2 lbs
- olive oil cooking spray
- 5 cups homemade tomato sauce see recipe
- 16 ounces whole milk mozzarella grated (not fresh mozzarella)
- 8 ounces mild provolone grated
- 1 cup finely grated pecorino romano
- minced fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Notes
- Keep a close watch on the eggplant while it broils. It can go from perfectly crisp to burnt in a matter of seconds. Remove the pieces as they brown and continue cooking the rest to avoid any burning.
- Mozzarella can be tough to grate. To make it easier, pop it in the freezer for 10-20 minutes to get it firm. The grating attachment on a food processor can make it a lot easier too.
- It's essential to wait at least 30 minutes before cutting the eggplant Parm or it will ooze out everywhere and seem watery. It needs time to set up after baking.
- This eggplant parmigiana tastes even better the next day because it has time for all of the flavors to meld together. If you can make it in advance, do it. Bake as normal, then refrigerate, and when you're ready to serve, reheat, covered, at 325 degrees F for about 20 minutes (or until hot throughout).
