Easy Stovetop Eggplant Parmesan Recipes

EASY STOVETOP EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Remove the top of the eggplant with the leaves. Cut into rounds about ½ inch or less (1.25 cm) so that there are 8 pieces after discarding the rounded end.
• (Optional Step) Sprinkle salt on both sides and allow to drain on a paper towel for an hour. This will remove some moisture and any potential bitterness. Rinse and dry.
• Beat the eggs in a shallow dish. Arrange the bread crumbs and flour on flat dishes.
• Add enough olive oil into a skillet so that there is about ¼ inch (.6 cm) covering the bottom and add it to the stove over medium heat.
• After the oil is heated begin preparing the eggplant to be fried. Dredge both sides of an eggplant round in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture and coat with the bread crumbs.
• Add as many rounds as comfortably fit into the skillet, allowing the oil to cook all sides and so that you can easily turn them over. Add additional olive oil as needed.
• Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes each). Set them aside to drain on a paper towel.
• Once all of the eggplants rounds are cooked, addl ½ of the tomato sauce to the bottom of a clean skillet.
• Place 4 larger rounds in the pan and sprinkle with ½ of the cheese.
• Stack the smaller rounds on top and cover with the rest of the tomato sauce. Top with the rest of the cheese.
• Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes. The eggplant should be soft and the cheese melted. Remove from heat and allow to sit uncovered for 5 minutes.
• Plate and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Slice the eggplants into twelve 1/2-inch-thick slices (total), then stack them on top of each other and cut off the eggplant skins. (Cut your slices first, then the skin, so that you don't cut too much eggplant flesh off.)
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and put the eggplant slices in the egg wash. Preheat 2 saute pans over high heat with 1/2 cup olive oil in each pan. Take the eggplant slices from the egg wash and saute 6 slices in each pan until golden brown on each side. Once you flip the slices over, poke a couple of holes with a fork in the eggplant. Then hold the eggplant to one side of the pan and drain the oil out of each pan. Add the garlic and basil to each pan. Add 2 ounces white wine to each pan. Then add 12 ounces marinara sauce to each pan. Turn down the heat to a simmer. Turn the eggplant slices in the saute pans, making sure the sauce is on the bottom and the eggplant remains on top. Top each slice with 1 slice of provolone. Add 1 tablespoon Parmesan to each eggplant slice. Add a pinch of chopped parsley to each pan. Then cover to melt everything together. Then plate. When plating, take the eggplant out first, making sure the cheese stays on top. Surround the plated eggplant with the remaining sauce in the pan.
