Description

This Neapolitan Style Eggplant recipe is an absolute classic of Italian cuisine! I especially like to make it in the summer when eggplants are in season and develop their full flavor. The combination of fried eggplant slices, fruity tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella and spicy Parmesan is simply unbeatable. The preparation takes some time, but the result is worth every effort. Perfect as a vegetarian main course or as a side dish to grilled meat. A dish that brings joy on any occasion!

Preparation (11 steps)

Prepare eggplants

Wash the eggplants, remove the stem and cut the eggplants lengthwise into slices about 5 mm thick. Layer the eggplant slices in a sieve and sprinkle each layer with coarse salt. Weigh down with a plate and a pot filled with water and let it drain for about 1 hour. Then rinse the eggplants under running water to remove the salt.

Dry eggplants

Squeeze the eggplant slices well and place on a kitchen towel. Cover with another kitchen towel and pat dry.

Prepare eggs

Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

Bread eggplants

First turn the eggplant slices in flour, then dip them in the beaten eggs.

Fry eggplants

Heat oil for frying in a pan. Fry the breaded eggplant slices in portions until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
