Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplants into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle salt on the slices and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Breading Setup

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and black pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the Eggplant

    Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip it in eggs, and coat it with breadcrumbs.

  2. 4

    Fry the Eggplant

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, spread a layer of tomato sauce. Place a layer of fried eggplant, then a layer of fior di latte cheese, followed by fresh basil. Repeat the layers, finishing with tomato sauce and a generous topping of Parmesan cheese.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
