Steps:
- Arrange the eggplant slices on several baking sheets and sprinkle generously all over with kosher salt. Set aside to let the bitter juices weep from the eggplant, about 1 hour.
- Transfer the eggplant to a colander in the sink, and rinse well under cold running water. Transfer eggplant to a work surface and blot very dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, breadcrumbs, oregano, thyme, and season with pepper.
- Place the flour in a medium lipped plate or bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Dredge an eggplant slice in the flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture. Shake off any excess breading and transfer the eggplant to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggplant.
- In a large straight-sided skillet, pour the oil to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat until it registers 400 degrees F on a deep frying thermometer. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. so that the breaded eggplant, when added, will drop the temperature of the oil to the proper frying temperature of 375 degrees F.)
- Working in small batches, fry the eggplant slices, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Using tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining eggplant.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush a 15 x 10- x 2-inch-baking dish with olive oil. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with 1/3 of the marinara sauce and arrange half of the eggplant over the sauce. Cover the eggplant with another 1/3 of the sauce. Scatter half of the Parmesan and half of the mozzarella over the sauced eggplant. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, sauce, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Bake until hot and just beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the herb sprigs and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in the salt and season with pepper to taste. Use immediately, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Yield: about 3 1/2 cups

Steps:
- Put a baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Position a wire rack over a second baking sheet and set aside.
- Mix the panko and Parmesan in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Season both sides of the eggplant with salt and pepper. Dip only one side of the eggplant slices first in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Transfer to the wire rack.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Pour the oil directly onto the hot baking sheet. Working quickly, place the eggplant slices panko-side down onto the oiled baking sheet. Dollop sauce directly on the center of each eggplant slice, then top with a nice slice of mozzarella (drape it over the sides of the eggplant for legendary crispy bits). Put immediately back on the bottom rack of the oven and bake until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are melted and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Garnish each eggplant medallion with a basil leaf. Serve immediately, either individually or in a giant stack.
MY MAMA'S EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA
So, I was adopted and raised by a Sicilian lady and this is her treasured eggplant parmigiana recipe. I hope you all enjoy it as much as my family does! P.S. Eggplant looks sturdier than it really is; refrigerate for no more than 2 days.

MY MOM'S FAVORITE EGGPLANT PARM
This is a recipe I've been making for over a decade (Ahhh!). I used to make it for my mom when I was growing up. The eggplant is crispy, and salty, while the homemade sauce is a little sweet, and has lots of basil and garlic. Yumm.

Steps:
- Ok. So. This is time-consuming but totally totally worth it.
- First you have to sweat the eggplant. Slice the eggplant into thin slices and layer the slices in a bowl after salting them generously but carefully. Try to make the salt evenly distributed. After they're salted, cover and set aside.
- While the eggplant is sweating, work on the sauce.
- Add some olive oil to the pot and heat. Then add in the chopped onion and garlic and a dash of salt. Cook until the onions soften a bit.
- Chop some of the basil leaves and add into the onion mixture. Stir, then add in the chopped fresh tomatoes, not the canned. Cook down until the tomatoes soften. Add salt to taste.
- Finally, add in the San Marzano tomatoes. Mix in sugar to taste. You want the sauce a bit on the sweet side, but not actually fully sweet. Just somewhere in between.
- Simmer for about 30 minutes.
- While the eggplant is still sweating/your sauce is cooking down, prep the cheese. Slice the mozzarella ball into half then into thin slices, should be about 12 or so total.
- Get out a bowl of all purpose flour for dredging.
- Check your eggplant. there should be a pool of water at the bottom of the bowl, and the slices should have softened. You can choose to either pat the eggplant dry or not, I haven't found it to make a big difference other than that it's easier to coat it in flour before frying.
- Get out your favorite large frying pan, fill that boy up with olive oil, and turn the heat up to medium high.
- Dredge each slice of eggplant in flour and fry until golden. If they get a little darker, it's ok. Set each fried slice aside. I like to put them on paper towels to get some of the extra oil out.
- Once they're done, it's time to actually build the dish.
- Layer the slices, sauce and cheeses in a baking pan. I usually do the eggplant, sauce, parmesan, then mozzarella. You should be able to do two layers. On the top layer, add in single basil leaves between the basil slices.
- Bake at 350 for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and browned.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Eat. :).
JUDY'S EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARM
This is my mother-in-law's eggplant parm, and it is incredible. Simple ingredients yield a dish filled with complexity of flavors. While it is easy to prepare, it is also labor-intensive... all that eggplant frying takes some time! It is definitely worth the results. Serve with some bread or foccacia to soak up those wonderful juices. This dish can also be assembled ahead of time, and refrigerated until ready to pop in the oven. It also freezes well (unbaked).

NOT MY MOM'S EGGPLANT PARMESAN (VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE)
My Mom's Eggplant Parmesan is delicious, but it practically takes all day to make, so she hardly ever makes it. This version is simplified for delicious weeknight suppers. Although, if you have time and you want to make your own sauce from scratch, knock yourself out. This recipe is also tailored for my my vegan diet and my husband's gluten allergy (no cheese or breadcrumbs). However, non-vegans can top with cheese to their hearts' delight.

Steps:
- Start boiling water for pasta. Whenever it boils, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, start heating spaghetti sauce in a saucepan. Add garlic powder, onion powder, basil, and oregano, and any other seasonings you like. Fresh herbs are even better if you have them. Be sure to stir occasionally.
- While the water is coming to a boil and the sauce is heating, also heat oil in a frying pan. Use enough to cover the bottom of the pan with about 1/4 inch of oil. Don't skimp. Mix nutritional yeast and cornstarch. Slice eggplant. Dip each slice in Bragg liquid aminos then in yeast mixture. Fry coated eggplant slices in oil. Note: if oil is not hot when you add the eggplant, you will have soggy eggplant. You may have to fry the eggplant in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your frying pan. Set the cooked slices aside on a plate covered with a paper towel. Add more oil in between batches if necessary, but be sure to heat it before adding more eggplant.
- When everything is cooked, add a little pasta and a few eggplant slices to each plate. Top with spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with vegan parmesan or more nutritional yeast. If you use pretty plates and garnish with a little fresh parsley or fresh basil, people with think you were in the kitchen all day.

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Begin by removing the bittern juices from the eggplant. Slice eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Salt the slices and place in a large bowl. Cover with water, place a plate on top of the eggplants and weigh down with a heavy object (I use a box of salt). Let sit for 30 minutes.
- While the eggplant is soaking, prepare the tomato sauce: In a large skillet heat olive oil and sauté garlic and red pepper flakes (optional). Add 2 cups tomato passata (tomato purée) and simmer for 20 minutes. Add salt, to taste, and a few basil leaves. Set aside.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a rectangular casserole dish. Spread a thin layer of breadcrumbs at the bottom and sides of the dish. Layer eggplant rounds, slightly overlapping the slices so that the bottom is completely covered. Spread 1/3 of the tomato purée over the eggplant, next add 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella and 1 tbsp grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano cheese. Top with 3 slices of mortadella and 2 thinly sliced hardboiled eggs.
