Eggplant Parmesan Recipe

The biggest problem I have with owning an oven air fryer is I want to prepare more recipes. The oven air fryer cooks the food as if it were in the deep fryer only with no added fat/calories. If you don’t have a Electric Oven Air fryer you really should consider getting one! You can also do this same method in your oven but don’t expect it to be crunchy like in the Air fryer appliance bakes it up. Below is my recipe for this delicious summer treat using eggplant you can grow.
Inspired by my garden to create this recipe!
Eggplant and Herbs In the Garden
I highly recommend patio/ container eggplant varieties for this recipe.
The great thing about using a patio or container garden eggplant variety is you will not have to soak the slices in salt water to get them to tenderize. The new varieties are perfect as is! A few patio eggplant varieties I recommend are Fairytale, Rosa Bianca, and Shooting Start. You can find these by searching your favorite seed companies or ask me.
Below are a few of my favorite ingredients from the garden to use in this recipe. In today’s feature, I have new basil I am trailing in my garden this summer by Proven Winner. It is a super fragrant grower and is performing very nice in my super dry summer garden. This variety grew lovely in my raised bed but would do great in an edible landscape. The basil was used in the pasta sauce along with garnish.
About The Basil
the first Italian sweet basil that is resistant to downy mildew, a disease that often plagues basil. And since it’s sterile, this large, vigorous plant produces a higher yield of usable, deliciously aromatic leaves. – Proven Winners

when do i use the mosserella cheese kim piacenza
The cheese goes in the bread crumbs or you can sprinkle on top of the dish when it is complete!
Do both the parm and mozz go in the breadcrumbs?
Sorry for confusion – the mozzarella cheese is used as topping before serving if desired. I don’t show that in this post so it is optional.
