To make this Eggplant Parmesan Wonder, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper and set them aside. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour and a pinch of salt. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dip each eggplant slice into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumb mixture. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant slices until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain the eggplant slices on paper towels.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of fried eggplant slices, followed by another layer of tomato sauce and a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake the Eggplant Parmesan Wonder in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
This Eggplant Parmesan Wonder is a perfect combination of crispy, creamy, and tangy flavors. The eggplant slices are perfectly fried and the tomato sauce adds a delicious tanginess to the dish. The melted mozzarella cheese on top adds a creamy and cheesy finish to the dish. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.
