What does eggplant Parmesan taste like?

Accepted Answer

Eggplants are a bit of a chameleon, taking on the flavors of whatever ingredients are around them. They readily absorb spices. Because of this, an eggplant parmesan recipe will taste like the other ingredients in it - cheese, marinara, Italian seasoning, and breadcrumbs.

Question 3

How do you prevent eggplants from absorbing too much oil?

Accepted Answer

The two things to keep in mind when cooking eggplant, especially firm globe eggplants, is that not only do eggplants hold onto moisture, they also absorb oil like a sponge.

Then brush them lightly with olive oil before baking or frying.

How do you layer an eggplant parmesan casserole?

Accepted Answer

Prepare a casserole dish with a little bit of your tomato sauce in the bottom. Add a single layer of the fried or baked eggplant slices. Add Parmesan cheese, basil and top with fresh mozzarella slices. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of tomato sauce and cheese on top.
