Baked Eggplant Parmesan Recipe

	Chefsuz / All my dishes 1 month ago This is so delicious and baking this dish is a great alternative to the original fried Eggplant Parmesan. If using fresh herbs, use three times the amount of dry herbs. Yummy! Prep:20m Cook:30m Servings:8	Chefsuz

Ingredients

Olive oil for baking sheets

2 large eggs

3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs

3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus 2 Tbsp for topping

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried basil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

2 large eggplants (choose firm & smooth 2 1/2 lbs. total), peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

6 cups chunky tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought 48 ounces)

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Directions

Preheat oven to 375. Brush 2 baking sheets with oil; set aside. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and 2 Tbsp water. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup Parmesan, oregano, and basil; season with salt and pepper.

Dip eggplant slices in egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, coating well; place on baking sheets. Bake until golden brown on bottom, 25 minutes. Turn slices; continue baking until browned on other side, 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove from oven; raise oven heat to 400 degrees.

Spread 2 cups sauce in a 9X13 baking dish. Arrange half the eggplant in dish; cover with 2 cups sauce, then 1/2 cup mozzarella. Repeat with remaining eggplant, sauce and mozzarella; sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp. Parmesan. Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

You will have to try my recipe for baked eggplant; its a little different and much better the second day - that is, if there is any left.
