Parmigiana Aubergine, also known as Eggplant Parmesan, is a classic Italian dish that layers thinly sliced, breaded, and fried eggplant with rich tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Typically baked until bubbly and golden, this hearty dish is a staple of Southern Italian cuisine, originating from the regions of Campania and Sicily. Rich in flavor, it incorporates fiber-packed eggplant, which is low in calories and contains antioxidants like nasunin. Additionally, its tomato base provides a good source of vitamin C and lycopene, beneficial for heart health. However, the dish’s use of cheese and frying can increase saturated fat and calorie content, making portion control important. Opting for baked rather than fried eggplant and using reduced-fat cheese are ways to enhance its nutritional profile while still enjoying this comforting and satisfying dish. Parmigiana Aubergine is a versatile crowd-pleaser, perfect for vegetarians and Mediterranean diet enthusiasts.
