Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 medium eggplants (1 1/4 lbs each) cut into 1/3-inch rounds (12-14 slices per eggplant)
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 cup milk (I used 2% but whole is fine too)
salt and pepper
Canola oil or cooking spray (for the baking pan)
Parchment paper to line the baking pan
Tomato Sauce*
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced (2 cups)
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes (I use San Marzano or Organic whole plum tomatoes and crush them in my blender)
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon minced garlic (optional)
Cheese:
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese (3 1/2- 4 cups)
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon finely ground parmesan cheese (I use Parmigiano Reggiano)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, slivered
Garnish: A sprinkling of slivered basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly oil a baking sheet or jellyroll pan. Mix Panko with basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and spread onto a plate. Pour milk into a shallow bowl. Dip each eggplant slice into milk and turn to coat. Shake off excess. Press an eggplant slice down into the breadcrumbs. Flip and press the other side in to help the crumbs adhere. Arrange breaded eggplant on lightly oiled baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the slices. Sprinkle eggplant slices with a little salt (1 teaspoon or so) and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Flip slices and bake for another 15 minutes until the eggplant is softened and lightly browned in spots. Remove tray from oven and let eggplant cool for a few minutes so you can handle it. (leave oven set at 375ºF)
  • While the eggplant is baking, make the sauce: heat olive oil in a large cooking pot or dutch oven oven medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for about 8 minutes until very soft and starting to brown. Stir in dried basil, salt, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and honey. Cook sauce at a simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes. Add minced garlic (if using) and simmer 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat. The sauce will be thick.
  • Line a jellyroll pan with parchment paper. Divide the total number of eggplant slices by 3 and that's how many stacks you'll have. You should have enough for 8-9 stacks. Arrange the 8 (or 9) largest eggplant rounds on the prepared parchment-line pan. Top each round with two tablespoon of tomato sauce, a teaspoon of parmesan, 2 tablespoons of mozzarella, and a sprinkle of slivered basil (don't add basil to the top of the stacks) Repeat with two more layers, using the larger slices for the middle layer and the smaller ones for the top. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
  • Garnish each stack with a sprinkle of slivered basil.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 eggplant rounds (each 1/4 inch thick and at least 3 inches in diameter; about 3 medium eggplants)
Coarse salt
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
6 plum tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh oregano, plus leaves and sprigs for garnish
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced and torn into small pieces
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus shavings for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season eggplant with salt. Heat 1 cup oil (about 1/4 inch) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, so as to not crowd the skillet, fry eggplant rounds, turning once, until soft and pale golden, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook 20 seconds (do not let brown). Add tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until tomatoes break down and are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in oregano and basil. (Alternatively, stir oregano and basil into 1 1/4 cups Freezable Tomato Sauce Base.)
  • Place 6 slices of eggplant on a rimmed baking sheet. Top each slice with 1 tablespoon sauce and a few pieces of mozzarella, and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons Parmesan. Repeat layering twice.
  • Bake until heated through and cheese is bubbling, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with oregano and Parmesan shavings.
