[Wizzlylabsfud]

Crispy eggplant slices embrace juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil in this Eggplant Napoleon delight! Paired with a side of pasta adorned with vibrant tomato and basil sauce, it's a visual and culinary masterpiece sure to impress any gathering. Bon appétit!

Ingredients​

• 6 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 medium eggplant
• cooking spray
• 18 leaves fresh basil, or as needed
• 6 slices Roma tomato
• 6 large slices of fresh mozzarella cheese

Directions​

1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
   
   
2. Whisk eggs together in a bowl. Place bread crumbs into another bowl.
   
   
3. Peel eggplant; cut into twelve 1/3-inch-thick slices. Dip each slice into eggs; lift up so excess drips back into the bowl. Press into bread crumbs until both sides are evenly coated.
   
   
4. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, cook breaded eggplant slices until crispy on the bottom, 2 to 4 minutes. Spray the tops with cooking spray, then flip and cook until eggplant is tender and the other side is browned, 2 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
   
   
5. Arrange six eggplant slices in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top each slice with several basil leaves, one tomato slice, and one mozzarella slice; cover with remaining eggplant slices.
   
   
6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is softened, but not melted, 5 to 10 minutes.

Dive into this fab dish and slay in the kitchen, darling! You got this!

Do you peel the eggplant before breading? Curious because I usually leave the skin on for extra texture.
