INGREDIENTS

  • Eggplant Parmesan Components

    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned
    • 1 small eggplant, cut into 3/4 inch thick slices
    • ¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
    • 🧀 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    • ¼ cup spaghetti sauce
    • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 🧀 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

STEPS

1

Beat together egg and water in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish.

2

Dip eggplant slices in egg mixture, then press in bread crumbs to coat.

3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant slices to hot oil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook until golden brown and tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggplant during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4

While eggplant is cooking, combine spaghetti sauce and red pepper flakes in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high until heated through, about 2 minutes.

5

Top fried eggplant slices with sauce and Parmesan cheese to serve.
