Recipe for eggplant parmagiana without frying?

Question

Have a good, EASY recipe that doesn't require frying the eggplant first, but still tastes great?

Answer 1

Peel eggplant and slice into 3/4 inch thick slices. Coat with olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper and place on a cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes until eggplant are soft and tender. Crack 4 eggs in a shallow but wide dish, like a pie plate, and stir until mixed. Place seasoned breadcrumbs in another similar dish. Coat each piece in breadcrumbs, eggs and breadcrumbs again and place on a cooling rack or any kind of rack that will keep the eggplant from touching a cookie sheet underneath. Bake in a 400 degree oven until crisp, about 15 minutes. When they are crisp, take out of the oven and top each piece with a couple tablespoons of sauce and top the with mozzarella cheese. Work very fast so the sauce does not make the crispy eggplant soggy. Bake in the same 400 degree oven until cheese melts. Serve on top of a couple more spoons of sauce. I do it this way all the time and it is 100 times better than those thick dishes of eggplant people usually make.

Answer 3

you can use a standard eggplant parmesan, but instead of frying it, bake it at about 350 degrees with a bit of olive oil. that's what i do for another recipe i use calling for "frying" the eggplant. it works well and isn't nearly as greasy.

Answer 4

If you want breading on the eggplant, then bake the eggplant slices after coating them in egg then breadcrumbs. If not, then just use raw slices of eggplant.
