Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants
- 1 Tbsp salt
- olive oil (for frying)
- 3 c tomato sauce (see below)
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 c Parmesan cheese, fresh grated
Instructions
- Slice the eggplants ¼ - ½ inch thick. Sprinkle the slices with the salt and let stand in a colander for 1 hour to drain some liquid.
- When you are ready to cook the eggplant, heat about ½ inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
- Pat the eggplant slices dry to remove any excess moisture. Add the slices, a few at a time, to the hot oil. Fry on both sides until lightly golden
- Remove the slices from the oil and drain on paper towels. Continue until all the slices have been fried, reducing the heat (and adding oil) as necessary.
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- In an 8x8 baking dish, start with a layer of sauce, then layer some eggplant slices, followed by a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese. Continue the layers until all the ingredients have been used or the dish is full, ending with sauce.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over top.
- Bake the dish at 400F for 25-30 minutes, until nice and bubbly
- Remove the eggplant Parmesan from the oven and let the dish rest for 10 - 15 minutes for the juices to absorb before serving.
Notes
- We updated this recipe from 2013 in September 2017 to make the Eggplant Parmesan more authentic. Enjoy!
