Description
These baked eggplant parmesan bites are a delightful twist on a classic Italian dish. I've been making these for years, and they're always a hit at parties! The eggplant slices are coated in crispy breadcrumbs and topped with a rich tomato sauce, olives, and melted mozzarella. They're perfect as an appetizer or a light meal. The combination of textures and flavors is simply irresistible. This recipe is great for using up summer eggplant and is sure to impress your guests. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick!

1 piece egg, beaten

1 tbsp water

1 cup Italian bread crumbs

0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation (8 steps)
Prepare Eggplant
Line eggplant rounds up on a large cutting board and lightly salt both sides. Let sit 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 120°C (250 degrees F).
Prepare Egg Wash and Breadcrumbs
Meanwhile whisk egg and water together in a mixing bowl. Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together on a flat plate. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top.
Coat Eggplant Rounds
Dip each eggplant round in beaten egg and then coat in bread crumb mixture.
Preheat Air Fryer
Preheat an air fryer to 200 degrees C (400 degrees F). Spray the basket with cooking spray.
Air Fry Eggplant Rounds
Place as many eggplant rounds into your basket as space allows without overcrowding. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook for 10 minutes. Transfer rounds to the cooling rack and place in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining eggplant.
Add Toppings
Spoon pizza sauce over each eggplant round. Add olive slices and cover with mozzarella cheese.
Preheat Broiler
Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
Broil Eggplant Pizzas
Broil eggplant slice pizzas for 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with basil.
