Eggplant Parmigiana
Serves 4
- 2 medium eggplants (about 1 pound each)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 cups (24 ounces) Patsy’s Tomato Basil Sauce
- 8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 375º F. Trim the eggplants, peel and cut into 1/4 inch-thick rounds. Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip into egg mixture and coat with breadcrumbs. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the eggplant (a few slices at a time) on both sides until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels and add salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the ingredients in half. Arrange a layer of eggplant slices on the bottom of a greased heatproof casserole. Cover with 1 1/2 cups of Patsy’s Tomato Basil Sauce, 4 ounces of mozzarella cheese, and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Repeat the procedure, creating a second layer with the remaining ingredients. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
