This is a yummy Eggplant Parmesan that is baked, not fried... adjust the seasonings to your desire and enjoy! My husband and I can share this dish with very few leftovers, but feel good about it because the bulk of it is veggies!

Time 1h5m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large eggplant
cooking spray
3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
15 ounces organic tomato sauce
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons italian seasoning, divided
2 slices whole wheat bread
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Slice eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds, discarding stem.
  • Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet to medium-high. Brown eggplant slices in skillet, turning after 2 minutes.
  • Mix tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese, 2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce mixture on the bottom of a 8 or 9 inch square baking dish. Add a layer of eggplant. Cover eggplant with 1/4 Cup Mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat layers twice more: sauce, eggplant, cheese.
  • Pulse bread in blender or food processor to make medium course bread crumbs. Toast crumbs in hot skillet, stirring frequently to prevent burning. (Or toast bread before processing.) Combine bread crumbs with remaining Italian Seasoning. Layer seasoned crumbs on top of casserole.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook, or cook immediately.
  • Bake in oven at 350°F, uncovered, for approximately 45 minutes (or until bubbly).

This recipe was a disaster! The eggplant was soggy and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

The eggplant parmesan was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but other than that it was good. I will try it again with less salt next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the eggplant parmesan turned out great! I used a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, which gave it a nice gooey texture.

I've tried many eggplant parmesan recipes, but this one is by far the best. The eggplant was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was rich and flavorful.
