Ingredients

1 large eggplant

2 eggs

2 cups panko bread crumbs

2 cups basic tomato sauce

Olive oil

Kosher salt

Black pepper

Fresh mozzarella

Parmegiano Reggiano

Directions

Slice eggplant about ¼ inch thick. Place eggplant in colander, sprinkling with kosher salt between layers. Allow to drain for 1-2 hours. Rinse off salt and pat dry, or wipe salt off slices.

Heat some oil over medium high heat until it shimmers.

Dip eggplant into beaten eggs, then into panko seasoned with pepper.

Fry in oil until brown on each side.

Drain cooked slices on paper towels.

Preheat oven to 375°.

Place a layer of eggplant slices in the bottom of a baking dish. Top with a few spoons of tomato sauce, then some slices of mozzarella and some shreds of parmegiano. Continue layering until all eggplant is used, ending with cheeses.

Bake until cheese starts to brown and edges of eggplant start to get crispy.
