EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMESAN



Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmesan image

this is a recipe i never thought i would like. but i LOVE it! it is so easy to make. sometimes i serve it over pasta, sometimes not. it's up to you. i have added meat to my spaghetti sauce before, but that really isn't necessary either because the eggplant is a meat substitute.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMESAN



Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmesan image

This is an adopted recipe from MeanChef, a former member, his version of a popular dish. No frying involved, so it is healthier for you! A nice easy recipe. Personally, I like to dredge the oiled slices of eggplant in fine dry breadcrumbs before roasting it in the oven, then I put the sauce in the dish, layer the eggplant, mozzarella (thin slices) top with more sauce, more cheese until I have used the amount I prefer; as noted in the reviews, most chefs use less cheese than specified in the recipe. To me a recipe is a guide that I make 'my way' ! I often add dried basil in the sauce when I don't have fresh basil to layer. I don't add salt, I find the sauce and cheeses are salty enough for my tastes.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups pasta sauce
1 medium eggplant (about 1 1/2 to 2 lb.)
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated (or more)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, about

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray or lightly oil a 9 x 13-inch pan.
  • Spread 1/2 c sauce in pan.
  • Peel eggplant and slice 1/2" thick.
  • Arrange 1/2 the slices in the baking pan.
  • Top with 1/2 c sauce, 1/2 the mozzarella, the remainder of the eggplant slices, and the remainder of the sauce.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Top with the remainder of the mozzarella and the parmesan and return to oven, uncovered, under the broiler, until the cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.

Tips:

  • To make sure the eggplant slices are not bitter, sprinkle them with salt and let them rest for 30 minutes before cooking. Then, rinse them off and pat them dry.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the eggplant slices in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the eggplant slices. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have any vegan parmesan cheese, you can make your own by blending nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • Serve the eggplant parmesan with a side of spaghetti or garlic bread.
