Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 2 eggplants medium-sized, sliced
▢ 1 cup all-purpose flour
▢ 3 eggs beaten
▢ 2 cups breadcrumbs Italian seasoned
▢ 2 cups marinara sauce homemade or store-bought
▢ 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
▢ 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
▢ 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the eggplants into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Dip each eggplant slice in flour, shaking off excess, then into beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs to coat.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry eggplant slices until golden brown on each side.
In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce. Layer fried eggplant, more marinara sauce, parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, ending with cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.

Notes

Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with a fresh salad and a crusty loaf of bread.
