Instructions

  1. 1. Slice 2 medium eggplants into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
  2. 2. In a shallow bowl, beat 5 eggs until well combined. In another bowl, mix 2 cups of bread crumbs with 1 tsp dried oregano and a pinch of salt.
  3. 3. Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten egg, then coat it thoroughly with the seasoned bread crumbs.
  4. 4. Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  6. 6. Layer the fried eggplant slices over the sauce, then pour another 1 cup of tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the dish and finish with a pinch of dried oregano.
  7. 7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
