Ingredients
- 4 lbs eggplant about 2-3 large, peeled and sliced ¾ - 1 inch thick
- extra virgin olive oil about ½ cup or more, for brushing eggplant
- salt for seasoning the eggplant
- 5 cups tomato sauce homemade is best
- 1 ¼ lbs mozzarella cheese freshly grated, whole milk, 20 ounces
- 1 ½ cups Pecorino Romano cheese finely grated
- parsley for garnish (optional, minced, fresh; or basil
Notes
- To make mozzarella easier to grate, make sure it is very cold. You can even pop it in the freezer for 10-20 minutes to help. The grating attachment on a food processor can make it a lot easier too.
- Be mindful not to brush the eggplant too liberally with oil. Eggplant absorbs oil really easily, so make sure you're just using a light coating so it doesn't turn out oily.
- Keep a close eye on the eggplant as it bakes. Some slices can brown faster than others depending on their thickness and the hot spots in your oven. Remove the pieces as they brown and continue cooking the rest to avoid any burning.
- 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 Parmesan 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).
