My Moms Favorite Eggplant Parm Recipes
MY MOM'S FAVORITE EGGPLANT PARM
This is a recipe I've been making for over a decade (Ahhh!). I used to make it for my mom when I was growing up. The eggplant is crispy, and salty, while the homemade sauce is a little sweet, and has lots of basil and garlic. Yumm.

Steps:
- Ok. So. This is time-consuming but totally totally worth it.
- First you have to sweat the eggplant. Slice the eggplant into thin slices and layer the slices in a bowl after salting them generously but carefully. Try to make the salt evenly distributed. After they're salted, cover and set aside.
- While the eggplant is sweating, work on the sauce.
- Add some olive oil to the pot and heat. Then add in the chopped onion and garlic and a dash of salt. Cook until the onions soften a bit.
- Chop some of the basil leaves and add into the onion mixture. Stir, then add in the chopped fresh tomatoes, not the canned. Cook down until the tomatoes soften. Add salt to taste.
- Finally, add in the San Marzano tomatoes. Mix in sugar to taste. You want the sauce a bit on the sweet side, but not actually fully sweet. Just somewhere in between.
- Simmer for about 30 minutes.
- While the eggplant is still sweating/your sauce is cooking down, prep the cheese. Slice the mozzarella ball into half then into thin slices, should be about 12 or so total.
- Get out a bowl of all purpose flour for dredging.
- Check your eggplant. there should be a pool of water at the bottom of the bowl, and the slices should have softened. You can choose to either pat the eggplant dry or not, I haven't found it to make a big difference other than that it's easier to coat it in flour before frying.
- Get out your favorite large frying pan, fill that boy up with olive oil, and turn the heat up to medium high.
- Dredge each slice of eggplant in flour and fry until golden. If they get a little darker, it's ok. Set each fried slice aside. I like to put them on paper towels to get some of the extra oil out.
- Once they're done, it's time to actually build the dish.
- Layer the slices, sauce and cheeses in a baking pan. I usually do the eggplant, sauce, parmesan, then mozzarella. You should be able to do two layers. On the top layer, add in single basil leaves between the basil slices.
- Bake at 350 for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and browned.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Eat. :).

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Begin by removing the bittern juices from the eggplant. Slice eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Salt the slices and place in a large bowl. Cover with water, place a plate on top of the eggplants and weigh down with a heavy object (I use a box of salt). Let sit for 30 minutes.
- While the eggplant is soaking, prepare the tomato sauce: In a large skillet heat olive oil and sauté garlic and red pepper flakes (optional). Add 2 cups tomato passata (tomato purée) and simmer for 20 minutes. Add salt, to taste, and a few basil leaves. Set aside.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a rectangular casserole dish. Spread a thin layer of breadcrumbs at the bottom and sides of the dish. Layer eggplant rounds, slightly overlapping the slices so that the bottom is completely covered. Spread 1/3 of the tomato purée over the eggplant, next add 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella and 1 tbsp grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano cheese. Top with 3 slices of mortadella and 2 thinly sliced hardboiled eggs.
