Here's what you'll need:
For the breaded Eggplant;
1 or more Eggplants
1/2 Cup Flour
1/4 Cup Cornstarch
2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Coarse Kosher Salt
For the egg wash;
3 Large Eggs
1/4 Cup Milk
To finish it off;
Any amount of Fresh Mozzarella that pleases you
Your favorite Marinara sauce
Here's what you do:
- Preheat Oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Slice the Eggplant lengthwise into thick sheets.
- Combine all of your dry ingredients in a zip seal bag. Combine the Eggs and Milk in a separate container large enough in which to lay the Eggplant slices.
- Dip each piece of Eggplant in the Egg Wash then shake in the bag of breading.
- Fry breaded slices lightly on each side to brown them.
- Place browned slices on a large baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes or until fully softened inside with a crispy breading shell outside.
- Top each slice with a drizzle of Marinara and heap with Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, then return to oven for 3 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted.
- Plate as is or over pasta.
I liked this one quite a bit. Usually I'm iffy about anything involving eggplant, but this was a very simple and yet tasty dish.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a dish that could be expanded on. I feel like there's a lot of different things that could be done with this recipe as the base.
