Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 eggplant, cut into 3/4 inch slices
1 ½ tablespoons salt
8 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces ricotta cheese
6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
½ cup chopped fresh basil
4 cups pasta sauce

Steps:

  • Sprinkle both sides of the eggplant slices with salt. Place slices in a colander, and place a dish underneath the colander to capture liquid that will sweat out of the eggplant. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Mix in egg and basil.
  • Rinse the eggplant in cold water until all salt is removed. In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Place one layer of eggplant in the pan, brown each side. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices, using additional oil if necessary.
  • In a 9x13 inch baking dish, evenly spread 1 1/2 cups of spaghetti sauce. Arrange a single layer of eggplant slices on top of the sauce. Top the eggplant with 1/2 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering process until all the eggplant and cheese mixture is used. Pour remaining sauce on top of layers, and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake 30 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until sauce is bubbly.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this recipe changed my mind. The eggplant parmesan was crispy and flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I loved the addition of the fresh basil, which added a nice pop of flavor.
