Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Eggplant medium size, cut into 1/3" thick round
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 20 turns Black Pepper, freshly cracked
  • 1 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese , grated
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 pounds Marinara Sauce
  • 1 pound Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • Fresh Basil Leaves, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Slice eggplant into 1/3” thick rounds. Season with salt and set aside to sweat for 30-60 minutes. You’ll see beads of moisture form on the surface.
    2 pounds Eggplant, 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • Set up your dry-wet-dry station with 3 shallow bowls. In the first bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

  • Pat dry the eggplant slices thoroughly with paper towels. Dredge each slice in the flour, shaking off the excess. Use a fork to dip the slice into the egg wash, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
  • Pour oil into a frying pan to a depth of about 1/3 inch over medium heat. Fry the eggplant in batches, arranging them in a single layer. The eggplant should sizzle when it contacts the oil. Fry for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Place the fried eggplant slices on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet to drain any excess oil.
    Olive Oil
  • Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce to the bottom of a casserole dish. Add half of the eggplant slices, slightly overlapping if needed. Pour half of the remaining tomato sauce over the eggplants and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Repeat with a second layer of eggplant slices, sauce, and cheese.
