Tips:
- Slice the eggplant evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will add flavor and richness to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the eggplant will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
- Cook the eggplant until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through and has a nice crispy texture.
- Make sure the tomato sauce is simmering before adding the eggplant: This will help to prevent the sauce from splattering.
- Serve the eggplant immediately: This will ensure that it is hot and crispy.
