Eggplant Parmigiana Sandwich How to prepare
Eggplant parmagan recipe Ingredients
• 1 large firm eggplant
• 3 large eggs
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup olive oil , approximately
• 6 Italian style hoagie rolls , warmed in a preheated 350 degree
F oven for 5 minutes before serving
• 1 cup part-skim Mozzarella, shredded
• 2 cups prepared marinara sauce, warm
Slice the eggplant crosswise about 1/4 to 3/8-inch thick - make slices
as consistent as possible. If the base of the eggplant is very large,
cut it in half lengthwise. Soak the sliced eggplant in a large bowl
of warm, salted water for 1 to 2 hours. Make sure the eggplant is
completely submerged in the salt water.
Scramble the 3 eggs with salt and pepper to make an egg wash. Remove
eggplant slices from the salt bath, shake off excess moisture, and
dip into egg wash. Then dip the eggplant slices, 1 at a time, into
a flat plate filled with seasoned bread crumbs, covering all surfaces,
and set aside. Continue breading the eggplant until all slices are
done. Discard excess egg wash and bread crumbs.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add enough olive oil to
lightly coat the bottom of the pan and allow it to heat up. (Add more
oil as necessary during cooking.)
Add the breaded eggplant slices to the pan, cover and cook until you
begin to see the eggplant become translucent, about 5 minutes. If
it begins to burn, lower heat and allow it to cook slowly. Using a
large spatula, turn eggplant onto the other side and cook 1 to 2 more
minutes with the lid on until eggplant is completely tender.
When eggplant is completely cooked, remove from frying pan and place
onto paper towels to blot any excess oil.
Place 2 or 3 eggplant slices onto warmed Italian roll, top with shredded
mozzarella cheese, then warm marinara sauce. Enjoy!
