Eggplant🤝Valentine’s Day❤️ Recipe👇🍆 Ingredients 3 eggplants sliced into 1/4 thick rounds 1 tsp kosher salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 eggs lightly beaten 1 cup panko 1 cup italian style breadcrumbs 1 tsp garlic powder 2 cups marinara sauce 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced into rounds 1/2 cup fresh basil 1/2 cup parmesan Instructions 1. Slice eggplant into ¼ inch thick rounds. Transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet(s) in a single layer and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 20-30 minutes to release moisture. Pat dry with paper towels. 2. In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt and pepper. In a second shallow dish, lightly beat two eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine panko, Italian breadcrumbs and garlic powder. 3. Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly spray 1-2 baking sheets with nonstick spray. One at a time, coat eggplant in flour (shaking off any excess), then the egg and then the panko breadcrumb mixture. 4. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, leaving space in-between. Sprinkle tops with freshly grated parmesan. 5. Bake coated eggplant for 20 minutes, flipping over halfway through cooking. 6. Add 2 tbsp marinara to a baking dish, spreading to cover the bottom. Transfer half the cooked eggplant pieces to the baking dish. 7. Top each eggplant piece with a light layer of marinara, a slice of mozzarella, a sprinkle of basil and grated parmesan. 8. Stack remaining eggplant slices on top and spread another light layer of marinara, sprinkle of basil and parmesan. 9. Bake at 400 F, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle the tops with fresh basil and parmesan.
