How to make eggplant parmesan

Cut eggplant into 1/4" slices. Line on baking sheet and salt both sides. Let sit about 1 hour to drain excess juices. Pat dry.

Beat eggs in a dish. Mix breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in another.

Dip a slice of eggplant in the egg.

Transfer the slice to the bowl with breadcrumbs and coat evenly.

Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Place breaded eggplant slices on sheet and bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.

Flip and continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.

Pour enough of your favourite homemade or bottled Italian sauce to completely cover the bottom of a casserole dish.

Arrange a single layer of the baked eggplant slices on top of the sauce.

Spread a small spoonful of sauce onto each slice.

Cut mozzarella into thin slices. You could also use shredded mozza, if you prefer.

Add a thin slice of cheese on top of each piece of eggplant.

Repeat with as many layers as you want, finishing with a piece of eggplant on top. Bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes.

Add final layer of mozzarella on top of eggplant stacks and sprinkle a small amount of parmesan cheese and basil. Broil on high for about 5 minutes, but make sure to watch closely so they do not burn!

Remove from oven when cheese bubbles and starts to turn golden brown.

Enjoy!
