I love eggplant and often just roast it in the oven with a little garlic and olive oil. But today, I was craving something more substantial, and eggplant Parmigiana was exactly what I was looking for. It's a warm, vegetarian Italian dish, simple to prepare and with few ingredients: eggplant, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan. This dish brings together all the flavors of southern Italy in a delicious gratin. It's easy to make and gluten-free because it's based on vegetables, cheese, and tomatoes. Parmigiana is served hot, on its own or with a salad. It's perfect for family meals or quiet evenings. It's a simple and delicious way to cook eggplant. We loved it!
Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving so that the layers can set.
