Parmigiana Eggplant

5 ingredients
1 steps

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds eggplant (I strongly recommend baby eggplants because they have a few seeds)
  • 2 8oz. cans of tomato sauce
  • 1 bag of grated or shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 or 2 bags of shredded mozzarella (it is never too much!)
  • Olive oil, basil, salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    {"0":"Cut the eggplants into quarter-inch slices; salt them and place them in a colander so they release the bitter juices. After 1 to 2 hours heat a pan (with a few drops of oil) and start to grill the slices.","1":"In a baking pan spread 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce (this is a trick for avoiding the eggplants stick to the pan) and then arrange sequentially a layer of eggplants, 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce, a handful of Parmesan, a handful of mozzarella and basil leaves. Repeat this process until you finish the ingredients (generally 3-4 layers). Add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil.","3":"Cover the pan with foil and bake in a slow oven for 40-60 minutes, then remove the foil, turn the heat up for 10 minutes to lightly brown the top. Serve it hot.","5":"The best result is if you make it and you eat it the next day or even the day after that."}
