Method
- Start by slicing the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds.
- Sprinkle salt over the slices and let them sit for about 30 minutes.
- Rinse the salted eggplant under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- In one shallow bowl, place flour; in another, beat the eggs; and in a third, combine breadcrumbs with dried herbs.
- Dip each slice into flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce, followed by a layer of fried eggplant, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30 minutes.
- Let the dish rest for 10 minutes after baking for easier slicing and serving.
Notes
Serve with garlic bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
