Directions

Step 1

Sprinkle both sides of the eggplant slices with salt. Place slices in a colander and place a dish underneath the colander to capture liquid that will sweat out of the eggplant. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl mix the ricotta mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Mix in egg and basil.

Step 3

Rinse the eggplant in cold water until all salt is removed. In a large skillet heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Place one layer of eggplant in the pan brown each side. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices using additional oil if necessary.

Step 4

In a 9x13 inch baking dish evenly spread 1 1/2 cups of spaghetti sauce. Arrange a single layer of eggplant slices on top of the sauce. Top the eggplant with 1/2 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering process until all the eggplant and cheese mixture is used. Pour remaining sauce on top of layers and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Bake 30 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly.
