Eggplant Parmesan
RECIPE COURTESY OF BOBBY FLAY
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 40 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 8 to 12 servings
Ingredients
Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 roasted red peppers, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 (28-ounce) cans plum tomatoes and their juices, crushed with your hands
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
1 tablespoon freshly chopped oregano leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Honey, to taste
Eggplant:
5 cups fresh dried breadcrumbs (made from dried day-old bread)
Butter, for greasing the dish
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons water
2 to 3 medium eggplants (about 2 1/4-pounds), cut into 1/2-inch-thick round slices (need about 18 slices)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Vegetable oil, for frying
12 ounces grated mozzarella (not fresh), plus1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
12 ounces grated fontina
3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
Fresh basil leaves, torn
Directions
For the Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce:
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the red peppers and cook for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes, bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until smooth. Return the mixture back to the pot, add the parsley, basil and oregano and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes longer and season with honey, if needed.
To dry out the bread crumbs:
Preheat the oven to 300 degree F.
Evenly spread the bread crumbs on a large baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes, turn the oven off and let the bread crumbs sit in the oven for 30 minutes or until just dry.
Raise the temperature of the oven up to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 15 by 10 by 2-inch baking dish and set aside.
Place the bread crumbs into a large shallow bowl. Add the herbs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. In another medium shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and 2 tablespoons of water together.
Season each eggplant slice on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each eggplant slice in the flour, tapping off excess, then dip it in the egg, and finally dredge it in the bread crumb mixture. Shake off any excess breading and transfer the egg plant to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggplant.
Heat 1/2-inch of oil in 2 large straight-sided saute pans over medium heat until the oil reaches a temperature of 385 degrees F. Working in small batches, fry a few of the eggplant slices, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Using tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggplant.
Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with some of the tomato sauce and arrange 1/2 of the eggplant over the sauce. Cover the eggplant with some of the sauce, grated mozzarella, fontina, Romano cheese and some of the basil. Repeat to make 3 layers ending with the sauce. Top with the fresh mozzarella and remaining Romano and bake until hot and just beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

How to Make the Eggplant Parm of Eric's Dreams | NYT Cooking
Eric Kim is in the kitchen studio making his recipe for eggplant Parmesan! It may be a labor of love, but Eric’s recipe streamlines the process so the cooking can feel relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. Panko-breaded eggplant slices crisp up in the oven on a sheet pan, which means no frying, and you can even use store-bought jarred marinara sauce.

Simple Eggplant Parmigiana Without Breadcrumbs
This Sicilian style eggplant parmigiana recipe is quite simple but super delicious. The ingredients used are fresh eggplants, mozzarella cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, basil, marinara sauce, and olive oil. There are no breadcrumbs, eggs, or flour in this recipe, leaving the eggplant as the predominant flavor. This is also a keto and gluten free eggplant parmesan recipe. I show you how to both pan-fry the eggplant and how to roast it. Either way gives great results. This is the first episode of the eggplant parm series. The other episodes will have a Neapolitan style with flour and egg batter, and an Italian-American style with breadcrumbs. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Marinara Sauce:
Ingredients:
▪2-3 large eggplant
▪3 plus cups marinara sauce
▪1/2 cup grated Parmigiano
Reggiano
▪1 pound block mozzarella
▪bunch basil leaves
▪olive oil for frying and
roasting
▪salt/pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Cut eggplant into 1/2disks, layout on a baking tray, and salt aggressively.
2. After 90 minutes wash the salt off or remove with wet paper towels. Dry eggplant well after removing salt.
3. Fry eggplant in olive oil (about 1/4 deep) until crisp on both sides. About 3-5 minutes per side. Alternatively - oil eggplants and roast in a parchment paper-lined baking tray at 400f for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
4. Blot eggplants of excess oil and begin assembling parmigiana.
5. Place a thick layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish then add 1 layer of eggplant, more sauce, torn basil leaves, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Repeat in layers to the top of the baking dish.
6. Place remaining mozzarella on top and bake at 325f for 50-60 minutes. If desired broil for 2 minutes right at the end. Alternatively, bake without mozzarella on top at 400f for 30 minutes.
7. Let eggplant parm rest for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
