Introduction
Crispy breaded and deep-fried eggplant slices layered with savory marinara sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese, baked to bubbly perfection and served inside soft slider buns.
Step 1
Slice two eggplants into 1/4-inch slices.
Step 2
Spread the eggplant slices on a paper towel-lined baking sheet, salt generously on both sides, cover with more paper towels, layer again if needed, top with another baking sheet, and weigh it down for 20 minutes to draw out moisture.
Step 3
Dredge the eggplant slices in a three-stage breading system: coat in flour first, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Sauté chopped onions in a saucepan, add marinara sauce (about 3 cups), and stir in fresh basil leaves.
Step 5
Preheat about an inch of oil to 325°F (163°C) and fry the breaded eggplant slices for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown, then drain.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Salting and weighing down the eggplant is crucial to prevent the final dish from becoming watery.
Assembling the dish ahead of time and letting it sit in the fridge helps the flavors meld together.
Letting the baked dish rest before slicing prevents it from falling apart when scooping into the sliders.
