Breadcrumbs: To make a crunchy crust. Use breadcrumbs seasoned with Italian herbs for more flavor, or panko for a lighter coating.
Cheese: A mix of mozzarella for its melting properties and Parmesan for a strong, salty flavor.
Tomato Sauce: Use the marinara sauce you like best, whether you make it yourself or buy it from the store.
Spices like garlic powder, oregano, and basil make Italian dishes taste better.
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the eggplant. Cut the eggplant into slices, sprinkle salt on them, and leave them for around 30 minutes to remove moisture. Dry gently with a towel.
Coat the eggplant slices with flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Bake the coated slices on a baking sheet until they turn golden.
Arrange the cooked eggplant in a baking dish, alternating with tomato sauce and cheeses. Finish with a layer of cheese on top.
