Eggplant Parmesan Recipe
We have a guest from Italian cuisine today; eggplant parmesan recipe. Although it doesn't take too short to make, it is a very easy recipe in terms of culinary experience. Anyone who can hold a knife can do it without difficulty.
Surely there have been people who have tried my recipe for baked crispy eggplant before. You can think of this recipe as a cheese and tomato sauce version of it. A complete summer meal. It is undoubtedly a full Italian dish with its parmesan and basil flavor. I gave old cheddar as an alternative to parmesan in the recipe. But if you want me to tell the truth, it's not something I highly recommend. Because parmesan is not a cheese for me, it is an aroma, a flavor. It has a unique smell and taste and nothing else can replace this smell and taste.
The tomato sauce used in the recipe is very tasty by the way. It can be your ultimate tomato sauce for every occasion.
Parmesan eggplant is not a recipe suitable for waiting. When it waits, the inside of the eggplants gets mushy. It is best to eat it as soon as it is removed from the oven in its most delicious form.
