The Best Eggplant Parmesan (Page 3 ) | November 12, 2023

Directions

1. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook garlic in oil 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, olives, basil, capers, pepper flakes and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 45-60 minutes or until thickened.
2. Meanwhile, for eggplant, place flour and beaten eggs in separate shallow bowls. In another bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder and oregano. Dip eggplant in flour, eggs and then bread crumb mixture.
3. In a large skillet, cook eggplant in batches in oil until tender, 5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. In a bowl, combine eggs, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, basil and pepper.
4. Preheat oven to 350°. In each of 2 greased 13×9-in. baking dishes, layer 1-1/2 cups tomato sauce, 4 eggplant slices, 1 cup ricotta mixture and 2 cups mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, sprinkling each with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. If desired, sprinkle with additional fresh basil.
