Ingredients
Directions
- Slice the eggplants into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lay them out on a rack over a rimmed sheet pan or several layers of paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let them release moisture for 2 hours.
- Heat olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add tomatoes with juices, bring to a simmer, then reduce to a very low simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add basil, and remove from heat.
- Prepare a breading station with flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumb cheese mixture in a third.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread a tablespoon of olive oil over the bottom of two rimmed baking sheets. Pat dry eggplant slices. Dredge each slice in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with breadcrumb mixture. Place on oiled sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake eggplant slices for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway, until browned. Remove from oven and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Layer a third of the eggplant rounds, half the mozzarella, and a third of the Parmesan. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and Parmesan.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F for 35 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
