Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the eggplant slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Dredge the eggplant slices in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant slices in batches until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish. Layer with fried eggplant slices, more marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
