Ingredients

• 2 medium eggplant (aubergine)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
• 6 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Slice the eggplants into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle the slices with salt on both sides and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to remove excess moisture. Let them sit for 15 minutes, then pat dry with additional paper towels.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.

Step 4

Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and slightly crispy.

Step 6

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom.

Step 7

Arrange a single layer of baked eggplant slices over the marinara sauce. Top with 1/2 cup of marinara sauce, followed by 1/3 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layering process until all the eggplant, sauce, and mozzarella are used up, finishing with a layer of mozzarella on top.

Step 8

Bake the assembled dish in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve warm.
