Breaded Eggplant Parmigiana Patties Recipe

Ingredients

1 large eggplant
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F.
Cut off the top and bottom of the eggplant and discard. Cut the eggplant into 1/2 inch rounds.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Place flour in a shallow dish or plate. Dredge eggplant slices in flour to coat.
Dip each eggplant slice in the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Place cooked slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon marinara sauce over each eggplant slice and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy!
