Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice 2 medium eggplants into 1/4-inch thick rounds, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. Step 2: Pat eggplant slices dry with paper towels, then dredge each in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Step 3: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook eggplant slices in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, then transfer to a baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Spread 1 cup marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer, top with 1/2 cup marinara, then 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  5. Step 5: Repeat layers: marinara, eggplant, mozzarella, Parmesan, and top with remaining 1 cup marinara. Sprinkle with 1 tsp dried oregano and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  6. Step 6: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown around the edges, then let rest 10 minutes before serving.
