Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Eggplant
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt and cook them in the skillet for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and slightly tender.
While the eggplant is cooking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave.
Once the eggplant slices are ready, layer them in the skillet: start with a spoonful of marinara sauce on each slice. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the tops of the eggplant slices for added crunch.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the cheese has melted and is bubbling, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
