- 2 large eggplants
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Slice the eggplants into 1/4 inch rounds.
- Season the eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
- Dip each eggplant slice into beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides.
- In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce, followed by a layer of fried eggplant slices, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
