Eggplant Parmesan

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium eggplant
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1½ – 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese slices
  • Fresh basil, sliced into very thin strips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice eggplant into 3/8″ thick slices. Beat eggs in a bowl and set aside. Combine Parmesan, flour, Italian seasoning, and salt in another bowl, and set aside. Dip each eggplant slice into egg and then into flour mixture, turning them over and spooning mixture onto both sides. Lay slices on sheet pan, about ½” apart. Bake 10 minutes, flip slices over, and bake 10 minutes more. Spoon 1-2 Tbsp marinara sauce on each slice, top with a slice of mozzarella and bake 5 minutes more, until cheese melts.
