  • 2 cups marinara sauce

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sprinkle salt on the eggplant slices and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.
  3. Rinse the eggplant slices and pat them dry with paper towels.
  4. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with oregano and garlic powder.
  5. Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. Fry the breaded eggplant slices in a skillet with olive oil until golden brown on both sides.
  7. In a baking dish, layer marinara sauce, fried eggplant, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, you can bake the eggplant instead of frying.
  • Make sure to use fresh mozzarella for the best flavor.
