Baked Eggplant Parmesan

Clock

Ingredients

  • 2 eggplants, peeled and cut into ½-inch slices
  • 1 Tbsp salt, or as needed
  • 1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 (28-oz) jar garlic-and-tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 (16-oz) pkg shredded mozzarella cheese, or as needed
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • Linguine

Instructions

  1. Place eggplant slices in a colander; sprinkle both sides of each slice with salt. Allow to sit for at least 3 hours. Wipe excess moisture from eggplant slices with paper towels.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet.
  3. Mix bread crumbs and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.
  4. Dip eggplant slices in beaten egg; coat with bread crumb mixture. Arrange coated eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side.
  6. Cover the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch casserole dish with a layer of spaghetti sauce; top with a layer of eggplant slices. Sprinkle with about 1 Tbsp of the remaining Parmesan cheese and ⅓ the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, ending with a cheese layer. Sprinkle with basil.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and golden brown, about 35 minutes.
  8. Serve over cooked linguini.
