Eggplant Parmesan

Big Guy and I took a flutter on trying to grow eggplant this year @carondeletgarden. It turned out to be a bountiful harvest, so we turned our attention to recipes for eggplant parmesan.

We have the joy of spending Tuesdays with our niece, @abrandt1026, and her gorgeous baby, so we focused this meal idea on our dinner plans. Big Guy read a tip by @jamieoliver to cut the eggplant and salt it prior to cooking to leech out any additional water. It was a major tip that allowed us to lightly bread and fry the eggplant in olive oil for the perfect crunch in the dish.

Once the eggplant was ready, it was a straightforward process to layer it in a dish with our Bolognese sauce and parmesan cheese. It was baked to perfection and was an enjoyable meal to share with our loved ones.
