Crispy Baked Cheesy Eggplant Slices

Ingredients

2 medium eggplants

2 large eggs

½ cup all-purpose flour

¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

How to Make It

Prepare the eggplant: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplants lengthwise into thick, even pieces, about ½ inch thick.

Prepare the coating: Spread the flour on a shallow plate. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan.

Spread flour over both sides of each eggplant slice. Make sure the covering adheres as you dip into the cheesy egg mixture.

Arrange: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the coated slices in a single layer. Olive oil should be drizzled on top sparingly.

Bake: Bake the eggplant for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it is soft and the cheesy topping is a lovely golden brown.

Serve: Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving it warm alongside a fresh green salad or the dipping sauce of your choice.

For additional browning, broil the steak for the final one to two minutes, keeping an eye on it to avoid burning.
