Total Time: 45min
Prep: 25 min
Level: Easy
Serves: 4-5
INGREDIENTS —- (All can be found in your local grocery)
2 Medium Sized Eggplants (sliced thinly)
2 Eggs beaten
1 cup flour
2 ½ cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, or Plain bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbls salt
1tbls pepper
1-2 tbls dried Italian seasoning
2 cups Spaghetti Sauce
2 cups Mozzarella cheese shredded
½ fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup Chopped Fresh Basil
1 big tomato, freshly diced
1 cup Olive oil (for frying eggplant)
Directions
Add Salt, Pepper, dried Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan to the breadcrumbs and mix together. Slice eggplant as shown in video. Dip slices in the flour and shake off any excess flour, then dip in egg wash, then dip into seasoned breadcrumbs mixture. Place olive oil in pan and let get hot for frying. Also preheat your oven to 375 degrees. To test your oil drop a pinch of bread crumbs in the oil and if it sizzles your oil is now hot enough for frying. Fry two to three of your battered eggplant slices at a time being sure to flip over so that both sides cook until a golden brown color. Remove and place on napkins to drain any excess oil. Continue until you have cooked all the eggplant. Take a baking dish and spray with non-stick spray. Next begin to assemble the eggplant. Starting with one slice, then top with a spoonful of spaghetti sauce ,then sprinkle on some shredded mozzarella cheese, then diced tomatoes and fresh chopped basil, then add another layer of eggplant and do the same. Each eggplant serving should be stacked with no more than 3 slices of eggplant and toppings. (See video) Once you are at the last topping add everything but also add some fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. Once complete, place in preheated oven and let bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven top with more fresh Parmesan cheese and basil and serve.

Start by dusting the eggplant slices in a plastic bag with corn starch to keep the eggplant from sopping up your oil. It makes a crisp crust.
This is really a good recipe. You are so right on about the fresh tomato and basil. Also like how you cut it – long. and makes a meal for 2. Mouth watering. Thanks!
Can I use vegetable
I purchased some eggplants today. I’ve been craving this… looks delicious! Tfs
A Good video. And that eggplant looks so tasty.
i like to leave some of the crispy eggplant exposed no sauce or cheese so you have some crispy parts, a little corn starch in the flour helps stay crispy, nice job, peace and love
