Instructions |
|
Begin by preheating the oven to 375F.
Peel the eggplant and cut off the top and bottom. Cut into circular slices, roughly 1/2 in. thick.
Chop garlic to taste, heat with olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Beat an egg or two in a bowl large enough to dip the eggplant slices in and pour breadcrumbs onto a plate. Coat dry eggplant slices in the egg then in the breadcrumbs, then place in the frying pan. Cook until both sides are slightly browned (5-7 min.).
Remove the slices and place them in a baking dish. Cover each slice with a generous dollop of tomato sauce and top off with a slice of mozzarella. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top of the cheese is slightly browned. Sprinkle chopped basil over the finished product.

Story |
|
I learned this recipe from my dad, who used to make it with eggplants we grew in our garden. I always find it interesting that the recipe doesn't use any parmesan cheese. I recommend this recipe because it is a healty Italian dish that provides an alternative to pasta and is vegetarian-friendly.
