Carbone's Eggplant Parmigiana Stacks

Eggplant Parm is a classic for a reason… To take it up a notch we teamed up with our friends at Carbone (ever heard of it?? wink wink) to create these Eggplant Parmigiana Stacks. Tender pieces of fresh eggplant are layered with mozzarella and Carbone’s delicious sauces to create this crowd pleaser, and best of all—it’s super simple to pull together.

Ingredients

1 eggplant, sliced into discs

1 jar of Carbone sauce

Sizzle

Drizzle

Shredded mozzarella

3 eggs

Italian breadcrumbs

Instructions

Active Time: 1 hour

Full Time: 3 hours

Serves 1
1

One hour prior to baking, prep the baking by slicing it into discs, placing it in a colander, and salting it. Let sit for one hour then remove, rinse, and pat dry. This removes the bitterness from the eggplant.

2

In a bowl, whisk together three eggs. In another bowl, pour your breadcrumbs of choice. Batter the eggplant by dipping it into the egg first, and then the breadcrumbs. Be sure to coat it evenly and don't forget the edges!

3

Fill the base of a frying pan with Sizzle. Once heated, fry the eggplant discs. You'll know they're done when they reach a golden color on both sides. Place them on a dish lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

4

In a baking pan, place a tablespoon of the Carbone sauce and spread with the base of your spoon. Place an eggplant disc on top, and then add more sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella and continue the layering until you have three layers. 

5

Top with fresh basil and Sizzle, and bake for about 30 minutes or until the mozzarella reaches a golden crispy texture.

6

Once out of the oven, drizzle with plenty of Drizzle, serve and enjoy!
