Ingredients
-
½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
-
1 eggplant - trimmed, peeled, and sliced 1/2-inch thick
-
½ cup olive oil
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
-
1 ½ (6 ounce) cans water
-
¼ teaspoon dried basil
-
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
-
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
-
1 clove garlic, crushed
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar
-
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
-
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease an 8x14-inch baking dish.
-
Mix seasoned bread crumbs, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes in a shallow bowl. Brush eggplant slices with olive oil and press into bread crumb mixture to coat. Lay slices onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 15 minutes. Remove eggplant and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Whisk tomato paste and water in a saucepan, place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Stir in basil, oregano, parsley, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
-
Place eggplant slices into the prepared baking dish, overlapping the slices. Spoon tomato sauce over eggplant and top with mozzarella cheese and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. If desired, broil for 1 to 2 more minutes to give cheese topping a golden color. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
