Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Eggplant

    Rinse the eggplant slices to remove salt, then pat dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggplant slices in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and tender.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Season

    Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet during the last minute of cooking, stirring until fragrant. Season with black pepper.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat, add fresh basil, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy your small pan eggplant warm!
