Eggplant Parmesan is a great classic of Italian cuisine, a symbol of the South and family traditions. Layers of tender eggplant, fragrant tomato sauce and melting cheese alternate in a rich and comforting dish, perfect to enjoy hot or at room temperature.
Wash the eggplants and slice them into thin slices (about 1/2 cm).
Dredge them in flour and then fry them in plenty of oil until golden. Drain them and start assembling the parmigiana.
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato passata seasoned with oil, salt and basil. Arrange a layer of eggplants.
Add a few cubes of mozzarella and a sprinkle of Grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Add a few fresh basil leaves for aroma.
Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, finishing with sauce and cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes, until the surface is golden and the cheese is melted.
Let rest a few minutes before serving, so the flavors meld together perfectly.
