I thought to cook this Eggplant due to the Carabba's commercial and let me tell you this meal is soooo! good. If your only making it for two people you will have four pieces left over. I did freeze two separate servings (the skin was kinda tough when we thawed the eggplant out and cooked it but it was still good).
Ingredients:
1 Eggplant sliced top to bottom (for six pieces)
3 cups Italian breadcrumbs
2 beaten eggs
2 cups marinara sauce (I used Publix Premium six cheese)
4 slices of fresh mozzarella
1 tbsp of butter
1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Heat pan with butter and olive oil on med high heat. Place marinara in pot and heat on low to med, (this will be hot by the time everything is ready. Dip eggplant in egg and then bread crumbs and lay on wire rack or pan till oil is ready. Once ready lay pieces in oil (going away from you so not to splash oil on you). Let cook for about four – five minutes on the first side, take tongs and pick up part of eggplant and see if it’s golden brown if so flip over the eggplant. Ladle marinara over eggplant until slightly covered and place two pieces of cheese on each piece of eggplant, then put under the broiler for about two – three minutes it should be melted and ready to plate.
