Erins Super Easy Eggplant Parmesan Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl beat the egg and water together. Place the bread crumbs in shallow dish. Dip eggplant slices in egg mixture then in crumbs, being sure to coat thoroughly.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add eggplant slices and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and tender. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggplant during last minute of cooking to melt.
• While eggplant is cooking, combine spaghetti sauce and pepper flakes in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and cook at high power for 2 minutes or until heated through.
• Top eggplant with sauce and Parmesan cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in bread crumbs. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes on each side.
• In a 9x13 inch baking dish spread spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom. Place a layer of eggplant slices in the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with the cheeses. Sprinkle basil on top.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Slice eggplant about 1/8 to ¼ inch thick cutting the ends off and discarding. You will cover each slice with salt (approx ¼ tsp on each slice) and let sit for 30 min this will sweat the excess liquid out of the eggplant. Rinse off eggplant and pat dry with towel, beat the two eggs and run eggplant through and then into the crumbs (season as you like if you want to add stuff to it). Fry in oil (I use tongs for flipping) before a flip I use tongs to splash the tops with oil so that the breading does not fall off. After I splash it I let sit like 2 min then flip. Fry both sides and lay out on cookie sheet layered with newspaper and paper towels (removes excess grease this way). Take a rectangle casserole dish lightly cover bottom with sauce, just enough to keep food from sticking. Now layer your casserole as follows: eggplant, sauce, cheese. Keep going in this order until you are done or run out of room. I tend to use a lot of cheese; I cover so I can barely see the sauce. Bake at 350° until cheese is melted and starting to brown, of course if you do not like it brown then take out when it's melted the way you like it.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Peel eggplant and slice thin. Layer eggplant and other ingredients if desired. Cover with foil and back 45 minutes.
• Take the foil off for the last 5 minutes of baking. Enjoy!
