About Eggplant parmigiana

Eggplant Parmigiana is a beloved Italian dish that highlights layers of breaded and fried eggplant slices, tangy tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, and savory Parmesan cheese baked to perfection. A staple of Southern Italian cuisine, its origins trace back to Sicilian and Neapolitan traditions. Eggplants are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and key vitamins like vitamin K and potassium, making them a nutritious foundation for the dish. Tomato sauce adds heart-healthy lycopene, while cheeses provide protein and calcium. However, the frying process can increase calorie and fat content, and the layers of cheese contribute to a higher sodium level. Opting for grilled or baked eggplant and moderate cheese can make it a lighter option. Eggplant Parmigiana is a hearty, flavorful dish that showcases the balance of indulgence and fresh ingredients typical of Italian cooking.
