  • flour
  • ½teaspoon salt
  • 6large eggs, lightly beaten

  • lengthwise slices
  • ½cup olive oil, divided
  • 4cups marinara sauce
  • 8ounces mozzarella, shredded,

  • 1ounce Parmesan, grated, divided

Preparation

  1. 1. Mix the flour together with the salt and
  2. put into a shallow dish or container.
  3. Similarly, put the beaten eggs and
  4. breadcrumbs each in separate, shallow
  5. containers, also for dipping.
  6. 2. Dredge each slice of eggplant, first in
  7. the flour, then the eggs and finally the
  8. breadcrumbs. After dredging in each,
  9. pat the eggplant to remove any excess
  10. ingredients before adding to the next.
  11. 3. When all of the eggplant is breaded,assemble the Cuisinart® Stack5® with the baking pan and select 400°F. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Once the oil is hot, add slices of eggplant so that they lay in the pan in a single layer. Brown each side well and repeat with remaining eggplant. Add new oil between additions when necessary.
  12. 4. Once all of the eggplant is browned, turn the heat off and allow the unit to cool slightly before discarding oil and wiping the pan completely clean.
  13. 5. Add 1 cup of the sauce to the clean
  14. baking pan. Add an even layer of
  15. the eggplant. Top with an additional
  16. cup of sauce and then half of the
  17. mozzarella and Parmesan. Continue
  18. with an additional layer, ending with the
  19. remaining cheese.
  20. 6. Cover and select 300°F. Bake for
  21. about 30 to 40 minutes, until cheese is
  22. completely melted.
  23. 7. Serve immediately.
