EggplaEggplant Parmesan is a delicious and hearty dish! Here's a basic recipe to get you started: ### Ingredients: - 2 medium-sized eggplants - 2 cups breadcrumbs - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 2 eggs - 2 cups marinara sauce - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese - Salt and pepper to taste - Olive oil ### Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Slice the eggplants into 1/4 inch rounds. Place them in a colander and sprinkle salt over them to draw out the bitter juices. Let them sit for about 30 minutes, then rinse and pat dry with paper towels. 3. In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs together. In another shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. 4. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. 5. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant slices in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more oil as needed. 6. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Arrange a layer of fried eggplant slices on top, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
