Directions
Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmesan,This is an adopted recipe from MeanChef, a former member, his version of a popular dish. No frying involved, so it is healthier for you! A nice easy recipe. Personally, I like to dredge the oiled slices of eggplant in fine dry breadcrumbs before roasting it in the oven, then I put the sauce in the dish, layer the eggplant, mozzarella (thin slices) top with more sauce, more cheese until I have used the amount I prefer; as noted in the reviews, most chefs use less cheese than specified in the recipe. To me a recipe is a guide that I make ‘my way’ ! I often add dried basil in the sauce when I don’t have fresh basil to layer. I don’t add salt, I find the sauce and cheeses are salty enough for my tastes.,This was my first try at an Eggplant Parmesan (we had an abundance of eggplants from the garden), and it was excellent! used about 2 1/2 medium sized eggplants, about 10 ounces of mozzarella, and a good quality jarred marinara sauce. I also had some home-grown fresh basil, and that really makes a difference in the dish.I had 3 layers in a 9-inch glass baking dish. It was plenty cheesy and delicious; will definitely make again.,Made 1/2 the receipe and did use the breadcrumbs as well.I didnt use all the cheese I am trying to cut down a bit. We both enjoyed this and will make this more often.Thanks Elly for adopting this dish
