Learn how to make the best eggplant parmesan at home! It’s better than any restaurant version I've had and uses homemade breadcrumbs for an even crispier crust. You’ll learn how to bake or fry the eggplant, so you can use whatever method, depending on your preference. Pair it perfectly with pasta or meatballs and a nice Italian-style salad!

Eggplant Parmigiana is NOT an easy weeknight dish which you hint at by relating your Mom and Aunt’s moaning about the time to salt, prep and frying the eggplant AND cleaning up . Plopping the finished dish into the oven is the easy part. Mom and Dad taught me to fry the eggplant which like meatballs is messier than baking in oven . Try both methods like you suggested at the beginning of the video. Salting the eggplant for ten minutes as you suggest is the most common method , but I prefer the Guido method of putting an eight inch high pile of sliced eggplant in between two plates and putting a couple of heavy medical books on the top plate.for an hour . You easily get 1/2 cup of bitter eggplant juice expressed out of the eggplant. Some like the eggplant to be peeled. You taught me a couple of tricks that I am going to try. Keep coming with the videos, please.

I grew up Italian and my mom was such a wonderful cook. She left my sisters and I many gifts. One of our favorites was her little book with all her recipes that our grandma left her. Her ravioli and stuffed veal breast are works of art. How lucky to still have all these great recipes. I made your chicken parm and it was a hit! Of all the ingredients that went into all these dishes, I have to say, that love was the perfect one!

Hi Bethany This recipe title made me look twice, Eggplant ?? I then googled it, we call these Aubergine in the UK, confusion over. My wife and kids love Eggplant and Courgette, (Zucchini) so this it definitely one ill be making in the next week, as all your recipe's to date have been amazing. Chris (In UK)

I will be making this soon. I bake everything if it is an option on frying. My favorite Italian dish every time! Drew may like to try my all-time favorite dish. I serve it with fish especially - roasted eggplant. It also needs to be sliced the way you did these, Bethany. Roast on the middle position for the rack at 450 degrees F.
