Eggplant Parmesan

@dolciecoccoledimiki

Please don't show me eggplant parmesan with grilled eggplants. The real parmesan is with fried eggplants!!! Some just fry them, but I also bread them in egg and flour because I find it tastier and because that's how my mom made it. It's a dish of Italian tradition, a formidable, succulent dish that has been on our tables for generations and accompanies us on outings, seaside lunches typical of the south, and Sunday lunch tables. Have you ever tried it in a nice sandwich or between two slices of bread?! What can I say, it's indescribably delicious!!!!

  2. STEP 2 OF 15

    Sprinkle with salt and let them drain for about an hour.

  3. STEP 3 OF 15

    In the meantime, prepare the sauce that will dress our parmesan. In a saucepan, sauté the olive oil with the garlic clove.

  4. STEP 4 OF 15

    Add the tomato puree, salt, and some chopped basil leaves.

  5. STEP 5 OF 15

    Dilute the puree with about 250 ml of water, stir, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.

  6. STEP 6 OF 15

    Now, rinse the eggplants under running water and squeeze them well.

  7. STEP 7 OF 15

    In a bowl, break the eggs. In another bowl, pour the flour needed for breading.

  8. STEP 8 OF 15

    Flour the eggplants, dip them in the eggs, and flour them again.

  9. STEP 9 OF 15

    Fry our eggplants in a pan with hot seed oil. Brown them on both sides, drain, and dry them on a paper towel.

  10. STEP 10 OF 15

    Now assemble our parmesan. Spread some sauce on the surface of a non-stick baking dish.

  11. STEP 11 OF 15

    Place our eggplants on the sauce, covering the entire surface.

  12. STEP 12 OF 15

    Make a layer with the cooked ham, grate our scamorza, and add the grated parmesan.

  13. STEP 13 OF 15

    Add the sauce and start again with the layer of eggplants, ham, scamorza, parmesan, and sauce until the ingredients are used up or the edge of the dish is reached.

  14. STEP 14 OF 15

    Finish the last layer with sauce and plenty of parmesan.

  15. STEP 15 OF 15

    Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 30/35 minutes; until a nice crust forms.
