Eggplant Parmesan
Ingredients:

• Eggplant
• Flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
• Eggs
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• Plain panko (or breadcrumbs; use gluten-free panko for gluten-free)
• Dried oregano
• Fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
• Garlic
• Fresh basil
• Olive oil
• Shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

1. Prep the Eggplant:
   • Slice the eggplant into rounds and sprinkle salt on them. Let them sit for 10 minutes to season and release moisture.
2. Coat the Eggplant:
   • Dredge the eggplant slices in flour, then dip them in beaten eggs, and finally coat them in a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese, plain panko (or breadcrumbs), and dried oregano.
3. Bake the Eggplant:
   • Place the coated eggplant slices on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
4. Make the Tomato Sauce:
   • In a bowl, mix together fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh basil leaves (chopped), and olive oil to create the tomato sauce.
5. Layer and Bake:
   • In a baking dish, layer the baked eggplant slices with the tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
   • Bake the assembled dish at 425°F for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Let the Eggplant Parmesan cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Enjoy your delicious and comforting meal!
