Maggiano's Little Italy Eggplant Parmesan Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggplants (about 2 pounds)
- Kosher Salt
- One 28-ounce can whole peeled Tomatoes
- 1 clove Garlic peeled and minced
- Olive Oil
- Freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup fine dry Breadcrumbs
- 4 large Eggs beaten
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh Mozzarella Cheese sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 packed cup fresh Basil Leaves
Instructions
- Cut eggplants lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices.
- Arrange one layer in the bottom of a large colander. Sprinkle evenly with salt. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices, salting, until all eggplant is in the colander.
- Weigh down the slices with a couple of plates and let drain for 2 hours. The purpose of this step is to have the eggplant release some of its moisture before cooking.
- Add tomatoes, garlic and 1/3 cup olive oil to a food processor. Process until combined.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- When eggplant has drained, press down on it to remove excess water.
- Remove from colander and wipe off the excess salt.
- Lay slices out on paper towels to remove all the moisture.
- Pour flour into wide, shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Pour breadcrumbs into another wide, shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Pour beaten eggs into a third wide shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Pour in about 1/2 inch of olive oil into a large, deep skillet. Place over medium heat.
- When oil is hot and shimmering, dredge eggplant slices first in the flour, turning to coat both sides.
- Then dip in the beaten egg, again covering completely.
- Finally place in the bread crumbs, press to coat completely.
- Working in batches, slide coated eggplant into hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 3 minutes per batch.
- Using tongs, remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly brush a 15 x 10 x 2-inch glass baking dish with olive oil.
- In the bottom of the baking dish, spread 1 cup of tomato sauce.
- Arrange 1/2 of the eggplant over the sauce.
- Cover the eggplant with another 1/3 of the sauce.
- Scatter 1/2 of the Parmesan and 1/2 of the mozzarella over the sauced eggplant.
- Repeat with the remaining eggplant, sauce, Parmesan and mozzarella.
- Place in preheated oven. Bake until hot and just beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
