Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 c marinara sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 ½ c shredded mozzarella
2 Eggs, beaten
1/2 c Parmesan cheese, fresh grated
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 medium-sized eggplants, about 2 lbs. total
salt
2 tbsp minced parsley, optional for garnish
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 c panko bread crumbs
Directions:
Place the rack in the second portion of the oven. Preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.
Brush the inside of a large baking sheet with olive oil.
Cut each eggplant lengthwise into 1-inch slices. Sprinkle salt over them and allow them to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Use paper towels to pat dry the eggplant slices. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on top.
Add oregano, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, panko bread crumbs, and pepper into a mixing bowl.
Whisk everything until well incorporated.
Beat in eggs into a separate mixing bowl.
Add each eggplant slice into the bowl with the beaten egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to coat it well and shake off any excess. Place them on the baking sheet. Repeat the process with the rest of the slices.
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the eggplants for about 20 minutes on each side.
Add 1/4 cup of the marinara sauce and cheese on top of each eggplant. Bake for 10 more minutes. You can also broil them for another 2 minutes or just until the cheese turns golden brown. Remove from the oven.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top to garnish.
Serve and enjoy!
