Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplants into 1/2 inch thick rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to draw out moisture, then rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, spread a layer of tomato sauce, followed by a layer of eggplant slices, then a layer of the ricotta mixture, and a layer of mozzarella. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Eggplant Parmigiana

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
