Breaded Eggplant

Cultural Context

Originating from Southern Italy, breaded eggplant is a beloved dish that showcases the region's rich agricultural produce. Traditionally served as a main course or side dish, it reflects the Italian love for layering flavors and textures. Today, variations abound, with some adding layers of meat or different cheeses, but the classic version remains a staple in Italian households and restaurants around the world.

1

Taglia le melanzane a rondelle non troppo spesse, circa 1cm

2

Passa le melanzane prima nella farina, poi nell’uovo e nel mix di pangrattato e parmigiano grattugiato.

3

Disponi le rondelle su una teglia ricoperta da carta forno e oliata. Un bel giro d’olio e puoi infornare a 200°C per 20 minuti per una versione leggera.

4

Oppure puoi friggerle in abbondante olio di semi finché non saranno belle dorate.
