Eggplant Parmigiana

Eggplant Parmigiana, or Eggplant Parmesan, is a classic Italian dish that features layers of breaded and fried eggplant, tomato sauce, and cheese. To prepare this dish, the eggplant is first sliced into rounds and then coated in seasoned breadcrumbs, flour, and beaten eggs before being fried until golden brown.

The tomato sauce is typically made by sautéing garlic and onions in olive oil, adding canned tomatoes, and seasoning with salt, pepper, and herbs such as basil and oregano. The tomato sauce is then layered with the fried eggplant and shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. This process is repeated until all the ingredients are used up.

The dish is then baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the eggplant is tender. Eggplant Parmigiana is typically served hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and accompanied by a side of garlic bread or pasta.

Eggplant Parmigiana is a delicious vegetarian option that is enjoyed by many people around the world. It is a great way to enjoy eggplant, which is a low-calorie and nutrient-rich vegetable, and is a popular choice for family dinners and special occasions.
