Eggplant Parmesan & Spaghetti

Preparación

1. 1

   Prep the eggplant

   On a cutting board, cut the eggplant into 1 cm rounds, beat the egg, shred the mozzarella, finely grate the parmesan, and tear the basil leaves.
2. 2

   Coat the eggplant

   On a plate, dip each eggplant round in beaten egg, press both sides into breadcrumb, and arrange on an oiled baking sheet; drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper.
3. 3

   Bake the eggplant

   Bake the baking sheet at 220°C, turning the eggplant rounds once.

   Consejo: Use two sheets if the rounds overlap; crowded eggplant steams instead of crisping.
