Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 eggplants, sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
4 tomatoes, sliced
12 ounces mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
½ cup olive oil
2 anchovy fillets, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ cup chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon white vinegar
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge the eggplant slices in flour; tap off excess. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant slices in batches until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • On each slice of eggplant, place a slice of tomato and a thin slice of mozzarella cheese. Place the next slice of eggplant halfway over the previous slice and continue layering with tomato and cheese until the bottom of the dish is covered. Arrange the eggplant so that half of the previous slice is covered by the next slice. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
  • In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped anchovies, garlic, basil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mash and dissolve the anchovies; remove from heat.
  • Remove the eggplant slices from the oven and immediately pour the sauce over the eggplant. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. The eggplant slices are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The tomatoes and mozzarella add a nice pop of flavor. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

The eggplant slices were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I would try grilling them next time instead of frying them.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some garlic and oregano to the eggplant slices before cooking and it helped a lot. I would also recommend using fresh mozzarella instead of pre-shredded.
