Eggplant Parmesean


Eggplant Parmesean
Originally uploaded by cabanagirl
One of my most reliable recipes. I hope you try it:
1 large or 2 small eggplants, slices in 3/4" pieces
1 egg, fork beaten
1 cup Panko crumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup olive oil
Fresh Mozzarella cheese, 2 balls, sliced 1/4 inch
2 cups tomato based pasta sauce, I use Rao's Arrabbiata or fresh roasted tomato sauce (previously posted)
1/2 cup Parmesean cheese, grated

Dip the eggplant pieces in the egg and then the breadcrumbs and add the pieces to a flat pan with olive oil. Fry until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towel.
In a baking dish large enough to hold all eggplant pieces, first coat the bottom with about 1 cup tomato sauce.
Layer the eggplant, cheese, sauce and grated Parmesean.
Place in 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until Mozzarella is melted and golden

This pair of eggplant, now that I have sketched them, remind me of 2 star actors taking center stage. I bought them each for $1 last Sunday at the Farmers' market. They are "Black Beauty"s. They will be even better in eggplant parmesean.
