My Mama's Eggplant Parmigiana image

So, I was adopted and raised by a Sicilian lady and this is her treasured eggplant parmigiana recipe. I hope you all enjoy it as much as my family does! P.S. Eggplant looks sturdier than it really is; refrigerate for no more than 2 days.

Categories     Cheese

Time 40m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small eggplant (about 12 ounces)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cooking oil (I use olive oil, my mom uses canola oil)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup meatless spaghetti sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Wash and peel eggplant; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Combine egg and water; dip eggplant slices into egg mixture, then into flour, turning to coat both sides.
  • In a large skillet cook eggplant, half at a time, in hot oil for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden, turning once. (If necessary, add additional oil.) Drain on paper towels.
  • Place the eggplant slices in a single layer in an ungreased 2-quart rectangular baking dish. (If necessary, cut slices to fit.) Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Top with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, in a 400°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through.
