Eggplant Parmigiana, also known as Melanzane alla Parmigiana, is a classic Italian dish featuring eggplant slices layered with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and breadcrumbs, then baked to perfection. Originating in Southern Italy, this comfort food blends rich flavors with simple ingredients. Eggplant is the star of the dish, providing fiber, antioxidants, and low-calorie nutrition. The tomato-based marinara adds vitamins A and C, while the cheese contributes calcium and protein. However, the dish can be high in sodium, fat, and calories, especially if the eggplant is breaded and fried before baking. Opting for baked or grilled variations and using lower-fat cheese can make it a healthier choice while preserving its delicious essence. A hearty vegetarian option, Eggplant Parmigiana is perfect for satisfying comfort food cravings with a Mediterranean flair.
