Grilled Then Baked Eggplant Parmesan Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, olives, 1/4 cup water and the basil sprig and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and discard the basil sprig. Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir to incorporate.
• Meanwhile, heat a grill or grill pan over medium high. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until well-marked and tender, about 4 minutes per side.
• Spread about a third of the sauce onto the bottom of a small rectangular (8-by-10-inch) baking dish. Top with half of the eggplant and half of the mozzarella, evenly spaced in the dish. Repeat with another third of the sauce and the remaining eggplant and mozzarella. Drizzle with the last of the sauce and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
• Bake until the sauce is thickened and bubbling and the cheese is golden in spots, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the sliced basil and serve warm.

Steps:

• Place eggplant slices in a colander; sprinkle both sides of each slice with salt. Allow to sit for at least 3 hours. Wipe excess moisture from eggplant slices with paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Mix bread crumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.
• Dip eggplant slices in beaten egg; coat with bread crumb mixture. Arrange coated eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side.
• Cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a layer of spaghetti sauce; top with a layer of eggplant slices. Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of the remaining Parmesan cheese and 1/3 the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, ending with a cheese layer. Sprinkle with basil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and golden brown, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Place eggplant in a large bowl. Add 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and let marinade for 20 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Thread shallot and tomatoes onto skewers and brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over them. Grill for 4 minutes. Flip and grill 4 minutes more.
• Transfer grilled tomatoes and shallot to a blender. Add vinegar, garlic, crushed chili flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pulse until blended but still chunky. Set aside.
• Grill eggplant slices for 5 minutes. Flip, and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt over them. Top each with a slice of mozzarella and grill until cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes.
• Spoon tomato mixture on a serving platter. Top with eggplant. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh basil.

Steps:

• Turn a grill on high. Slice the eggplant into quarter inch pieces (about 20 pieces. It's your preference if skin is left on or off.) Brush eggplant with olive oil. Season with salt. Grill eggplant pieces about 7 minutes per side or until nicely charred and tender.
• In a saucepan heat tomato sauces until bubbly.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a 9x13-inch pan, layer the sauce, eggplant pieces, cheeses, and breadcrumb in this order: 1/3 sauce, 1/2 eggplant, 1/3 sauce, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, the rest of the eggplant, the rest of the sauce, the rest of the mozzarella, and all of the parmesan cheese. Add pepper to taste.
• Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes or until the sauce and cheese slightly bubble. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Enjoy with a side of delicious garlic bread!

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat. Preheat a pizza oven or regular oven to 475 degrees F.
• Add the eggplant halves to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, cut-side up. Drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the eggplant on the grill cut-side down and grill until nicely charred, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a medium cast-iron pan on the grill and add 2 tablespoons olive oil; heat until hot. Add the garlic and onion and saute until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and anchovy, then stir to combine, cooking the tomatoes until nicely broken down, about 10 minutes.
• Evenly divide the eggplant, cut-side up, among six 10-ounce cast-iron rectangular pans arranged on a sheet tray for easy transfer to the oven. Spoon over the tomato sauce, then bake until sauce has reduced more, started to char and the eggplants have softened, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the sheet tray from the oven and top each pan with the grated Parmesan. Evenly top with the sliced mozzarella, then season with freshly ground black pepper and place back in the oven. Let cook to melt the cheese, another 5 to 8 minutes.
