Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Eggplant
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the eggplants and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Rinse the eggplant slices and pat dry with paper towels.
Bread the Eggplant
- Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls.
- Dip each eggplant slice in flour, then in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Fry the Eggplant
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Assemble the Dish
- In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce. Add a layer of fried eggplant, followed by mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
Bake
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
