How To Make Old Spaghetti Factory Eggplant Parmesan Recipe
Classic Italian dish made with layers of fried eggplant, tomato sauce, and Parmesan cheese.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplants, sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 jar (24 oz) tomato sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Sprinkle slices of eggplant with salt and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
-
Set up 3 separate bowls – one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumbs.
-
Dip each slice of eggplant in the flour, then the egg, and then coat in breadcrumbs.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
-
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Add a layer of eggplant slices on top of the sauce, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
