This is how they do eggplant parmigiana in Italy: no breading and no puddles of cheese, just thin layers of fried eggplant with homemade sauce, a little fresh mozzarella, and good Parmigiano-Reggiano. It doesn’t get more authentic than this.
Serve with Spaghetti with Garlic, Hot Pepper & Pecorino, a fresh arugula salad, and Ice Cream Parfaits with Strawberries and Balsamic Syrup.
This is a really delicious eggplant parmigiana. I typically make a little extra eggplant and create a few additional layers!
I love this recipe. My favorite eggplant parmigiana. I prepare the eggplant using an air fryer without oil, and it works great for a much healthier option.
I made this recipe August 21, 2020, as written. I cook and bake a lot. I have eaten a lot of food in Italy-including Napoli. This eggplant is divine! I will never bread eggplant again for this dish. The recipe instructs to layer and salt the thinly sliced and peeled eggplant in a colander. Then lay the slices on paper towels in layers and soak up the salty liquid. It worked perfectly for me. I didn’t have to use 3 cups of olive oil. But I did fry the thin slices. Out of this world! Not over salted. Perfect!
Excellent recipe. My eggplant slices did not come out greasy. great flavors. I made 6 batches and froze a number of them.
