Ingredients
  

  • 2 Eggplants
  • 6 cups Mini Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic grated or crushed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice the tomatoes in half and saute with garlic for 8 minutes.
  • Add chopped basil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and simmer for 2 minutes then set aside.
  • Peel and thinly slice the eggplant.
  • Lay the eggplant slices on paper towels and salt on both sides.
  • Top with more paper towels and set a heavy pan on top for 10 minutes.
  • Place half of the tomato mixture in the bottom of a large casserole dish.
  • Next layer half of the eggplant slices overlapping as needed.
  • Sprinkle half of the breadcrumbs on top.
  • Followed by half of the mozzarella slices.
  • Repeat with the remaining tomato mixture, eggplant, breadcrumbs and fresh mozzarella.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is slightly browned.
  • Allow the Eggplant Parmesan to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Store well covered with plastic or place into airtight containers in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat in the microwave.
I don't recommend freezing this as the zucchini will not taste great once it's frozen and thawed.
