Eggplant Parmesan (Baked Recipe)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the beaten eggs in one bowl and the breadcrumbs in a second.

Step 2

Place the slices of eggplant first into the beaten egg. Ensure both sides are well-coated. Then, dip them into the breadcrumbs. Place the breadcrumb-coated slices on a baking sheet. Don't let them overlap, and don't stack them.

Step 3

Bake the eggplant slices at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Flip them and continue baking for another 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sauce to the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Spread it evenly to coat the bottom entirely.

Step 5

Transfer the eggplant slices to the baking dish. Place them on the sauce in a single layer. Top them with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Top it all with a second layer of sauce and eggplant slices. Then, add more cheese and mozzarella. Continue layering in this manner, finally ending with a layer of cheeses. Top with basil.

Step 6

Bake the dish at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 35 minutes. The cheese should be fully melted, and the eggplant slices golden brown.

Step 7

Remove it from the heat. Allow 2-3 minutes to cool before transferring portions to serving plates. Enjoy!
