About Parmigiana di melanzane

Parmigiana di Melanzane is a classic Italian dish originating from Southern Italy, celebrated for its rich flavors and comforting texture. This layered casserole features thin slices of eggplant, which are traditionally breaded and fried or baked, then stacked with tangy tomato sauce, fresh basil, and generous amounts of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. It's often baked until bubbling and golden, making it a hearty, flavorful treat. While Parmigiana di Melanzane is a good source of vitamins and antioxidants from the eggplant and tomatoes, its nutritional profile can be influenced by preparation methods. Frying the eggplant adds extra calories and fats, but lighter versions with baked eggplant can provide a healthier alternative. Rich in protein and calcium from the cheese, its indulgent nature comes with a higher fat and calorie content, making moderation key for enjoying this Italian favorite while maintaining a balanced diet.
