Baked Eggplant Stacks with Ricotta Cheese 

eggplants, sliced into ⅓" slices, about 8 per eggplant

kosher salt, 1 tsp per sheet pan to salt the eggplant

all purpose flour

eggs,

parmigiano

panko breadcrumbs

breadcrumbs

tomato sauce

Salt and Pepper to taste

oz whole milk ricotta

cheese,

tsp kosher salt

Slice the eggplants each into 8 slices (16 total), approximately ⅓" thick.

Lay eggplant slices side by side on a baking sheet. Salt the eggplant (1 tsp for each pan) and cover with two layers of paper towels. 

 Let rest for 1 hour. After 1 hour, dry completely with paper towel as much as possible.

Salting the Eggplant 

Preheat oven to 400°. Coat a 9x13" baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or spray with baking spray. Or, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Beat the eggs into a wide shallow bowl and set aside.

Combine both breadcrumbs and cheese into another shallow bowl.

Dip each side of each eggplant slice first in flour, then into beaten eggs and finally the cheese and breadcrumb mixture. Move to a  prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Cool.

Breading

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse on high until creamy and thick- a couple of minutes. 

Whipped Ricotta

Pour one cup of tomato sauce in the bottom of prepared baking pan.

Layer half of the eggplant slices on the sauce.

Top with 2 tablespoons of sauce and 2 tablespoons whipped ricotta. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon parmigiano cheese. Repeat process with final layer. 

Bake in 400° oven for 20 minutes until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with basil and serve!
