Easy Eggplant Parmesan 🧀

 

METHOD :

1. Prepare the Eggplant:
   Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. Bread the Eggplant:
   Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese in a third.
   Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumb mixture.

3. Fry the Eggplant:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices in batches until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.

4. Assemble the Casserole:
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
   Layer fried eggplant slices, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.

5. Bake:
   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Garnish & Serve:
   Let cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil. Serve warm and enjoy!

Bon appetite !!
