Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Eggplant Parmesan
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the eggplants into ½-inch rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let them rest for 10-15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Rinse the salted slices under cold water, pat dry, and set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all slices.
- Place the breaded eggplant slices on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- In a skillet, heat marinara sauce with olive oil and stir in oregano and basil, simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the eggplant slices, then half of the mozzarella. Repeat layering.
- Bake the assembled dish uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving, garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
