Ingredients

  •  eggs beaten
  •  eggplant cut into 3/4 inch slices
  • 0.5 cup basil fresh chopped
  • tablespoons olive oil 
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • cups pasta sauce 
  • ounces ricotta cheese 
  • 1.5 tablespoons salt 
  • ounces mozzarella cheese shredded

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • baking pan
  • colander

Directions

  1. Sprinkle both sides of the eggplant slices with salt.
  2. Place slices in a colander, and place a dish underneath the colander to capture liquid that will sweat out of the eggplant. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  4. Mix in egg and basil.
  5. Rinse the eggplant in cold water until all salt is removed. In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat.
  6. Place one layer of eggplant in the pan, brown each side. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices, using additional oil if necessary.
  7. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, evenly spread 1 1/2 cups of spaghetti sauce. Arrange a single layer of eggplant slices on top of the sauce. Top the eggplant with 1/2 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering process until all the eggplant and cheese mixture is used.
  8. Pour remaining sauce on top of layers, and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake 30 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until sauce is bubbly.
