For a richer flavor, use smoked mozzarella. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried basil. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepWhisk eggs together in a bowl. Place bread crumbs into another bowl. (2 minutes)
03
StepPeel 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. (15 minutes)
04
StepSpray 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. (20 minutes)
05
StepArrange 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. (10 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until cheese is softened, but not melted, 5 to 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

Apr 17, 2025The breading on the eggplant was perfectly crispy. A great way to use up garden tomatoes and basil.
