Cheesy Eggplant Parmigiana Recipe - Real Recipes from Mums

So easy, quick and most important it’s delicious. Serve with salad and garlic bread for a complete meal. I’ve also added cooked pasta to parmigiana sauce for added bulk and a more complete meal in one pot.

Ingredients (serves 4)

1 eggplant Cut into 1cm slices
I brown onion Diced
1 tsp garlic Crushed
1 cup cheese Grated
1/4 cup parmesan Grated
Salt and pepper For seasoning
6 Tblsps Olive oil

Method

Heat 1 Tblsp oil in pan. Add onion, sweat off til softened. Add garlic, fry 1 minute. Add tin of tomatoes and heat. Simmer gently 10 mins. Remove from heat
Heat 2 Tblsps oil in pan. Toss eggplant slices in seasoned flour. Shake off excess and fry til golden. There's a couple of batches to fry, add more oil as needed.
Layer eggplant, tomato mix and cheeses til all used up. Finish with sauce and grated cheese on top. Cook in oven, 200*C, for 20 to 30 minutes until golden on top. Serve

Such a very simple but lovely tasting idea and a great way to use a vegetable instead of lasagna sheets. Thanks so much for sharing.

Eggplant is so good. It’s definitely a beef
Veg that’s overlooked so it’s good to see recipes like this pop up to help people to remember to eat it and enjoy!

A great non-mean option to try. Not sure that hubby and son will like it though. They’re always telling me not to mess with the original!

This sounds great! I enjoy eggplant but I’ve never tried it in much only on pizzas or as battered chips. Will need to try this recipe.
