Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 3/4 -1 cup
2 medium eggplants, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds (about 3 pounds)
4 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, plus 1/2 cup
6 large eggs, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
kosher salt
ground black pepper
1 lb ricotta cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus 2 tablespoons
4 cups marinara sauce
3 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12 oven-ready lasagna noodles
1/2 cup sliced basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season eggplant slices with salt, then place in a colander set over a plate. Set aside.
  • Combine panko, Italian seasoning, 1 cup parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine until finely ground, then transfer crumbs to a shallow dish or bowl. Place eggs and flour in separate shallow dishes or bowls.
  • To prepare eggplant, dredge each slice on both sides in the flour, then eggs, then the panko parmesan mixture and place on the cooling rack. Heat 3/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the eggplant until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Add additional olive oil if needed during frying. Drain fried eggplant on a towel-lined plate.
  • In a large bowl, stir to combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble lasagna, spoon 1/2 cup marinara sauce into the bottom of the pan, spreading to coat. Top with 4 lasagna noodles, then 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, a layer of eggplant, 1 cup marinara sauce and 1 cup shredded mozzarella. Repeat layering twice more and top last layer of lasagna noodles with sauce, 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake for 10 minutes.
  • Let sit 10 minutes, then slice and serve. Top with sliced basil.
