Description

Un classique italien réconfortant avec des aubergines croustillantes, une sauce marinara riche et du fromage fondant entre chaque couche.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large globe eggplants (sliced into rounds)
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 3 large eggs (beaten)
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 lb fresh mozzarella (shredded)
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Salt eggplant slices and let them sweat for 45 minutes, then pat dry.
  2. Dip eggplant slices into beaten eggs.
  3. Coat each slice with Panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan mixture.
  4. Pan-fry until golden or bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish.
  6. Add a layer of eggplant, more sauce, basil, and mozzarella.
  7. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
  8. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Sweating the eggplant removes excess moisture and bitterness. Letting the dish rest before slicing helps maintain clean layers.
