EGGPLANT MOZZARELLA TOWER
Culinary notes: Most eggplants produce a bitter tasting alkaloid. A method for removing this unwanted flavor is to sprinkle the slices with salt and let them rest in a colander for an hour. Afterwards. Rise the slices under cold water. Gently squeezing out the moisture pressing on the slices also collapses the eggplants air pockets reducing the absorption of oil during frying

Steps:
- Put a baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F (or as high as your oven will go). Position a wire rack over a second baking sheet, spray with nonstick spray, and set aside.
- For the eggplant: Peel the eggplant and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick medallions. Mix the panko and Parmesan together in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs. Dip only one side of the eggplant slices first in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Transfer to the wire rack.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Pour the oil directly onto the hot baking sheet. Working quickly, place the eggplant slices, panko-side down onto the oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle the unbreaded side with salt. Put immediately back on the bottom rack of the oven and bake until the breaded bottoms are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove eggplant from oven and flip over so the golden breaded side is facing up.
- For the sandwich: Slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping them all attached. Spread the bottom of the rolls with the tomato pesto and place on a baking tray.
- Heat the butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, at a low simmer so that the garlic infuses the butter, about 5 minutes. If the garlic starts to brown too quickly, lower the heat. Set aside.
- Layer half of the mozzarella on top of the pesto, then the eggplant, then the remaining mozzarella. Place the top of the rolls back on the sandwich. Brush the tops with the garlic butter. Bake the sliders in the oven until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly toasted, 10 to 12 minutes.
- For the sauce: In a saucepan, add the vodka sauce and heat over medium- to medium-low heat until warm. Whisk in the Calabrian chiles and cream. Set aside.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and brush with more garlic butter. Cut into small sliders and serve with the vodka sauce alongside for dipping.

Steps:
- To make a quick marinara sauce, place a saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Pour in the red wine and cook for 1 minute to reduce. Using your hands or a potato masher, crush the tomatoes and add to the saucepot, including any juices from the can. Stir to combine. Add 1 whole stem of fresh basil leaves. Bring the sauce to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium low. Allow the sauce to continuing cooking while the rest of the components are prepared.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot and attach a deep-frying thermometer. Heat the oil over medium heat to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack.
- Set up 3 low-sided dishes to make a breading station: To the first dish, add the flour, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and stir to combine. In the second dish, beat the eggs. To the third dish, add the breadcrumbs.
- Dredge both sides of the eggplant slices in the seasoned flour, shaking each piece to remove any excess. Next, dip the eggplant slices into the egg, allowing it to drip before moving onto the third dish. Then, coat the eggplant in the breadcrumbs evenly on both sides.
- Working in batches, carefully place the breaded eggplant into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to the cooling rack on the baking sheet. Sprinkle each slice generously with kosher salt. Continue this process until all the eggplant rounds have been fried.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the basil stem from the marinara sauce.
- Remove the paper towels from the baking sheet. Build towers on the cooling rack: Top a slice of eggplant with 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce, 1 tablespoon mozzarella, 1 tablespoon Parmesan and 1 basil leaf. Place a second piece of eggplant on top and repeat this process. Top the tower with a third piece of eggplant and repeat only with sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan (no basil). Repeat this process to create 8 towers on the cooling rack.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and slightly browned on top, about 20 minutes. Transfer the towers to a serving platter. Garnish each eggplant tower with a fresh basil leaf and serve immediately.
