Easy homemade Eggplant Parmesan 🥘

I thought of eating something healthy the other day, and was browsing through my fridge.
Saw an eggplant and thought .."Hmm, I could make something healthy out of this!"

But my dominant and unhealthy side took over and I ended up making Eggplant Parmesan 😅
Well, good for you guys, you got a nice recipe to try out!


Ingredients :

 1 eggplant 
 2-3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese (depending on how cheesy you want your dish to be)
 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend
 Marinara sauce (enough to cover the eggplant pieces. I used 3/4th bottle of Ragu Marinara Sauce) 
 Salt
 1/2 cup all purpose flour
 1 egg, beaten
 1 cup breadcrumbs

Servings : 

2-3 servings

Prep time : 

1 hour

Cook time : 

40- 45 minutes

Recipe : 

1. Cut the eggplant into round pieces. The pieces should not be thicker than 1/4 inch.
Spread the pieces on a paper towel, sprinkle with some salt and let them sit for 1 hour.
This lets out all the bitter juices from the eggplant.
2. After 1 hour, remove all the excess water / juices from the eggplant and preheat the oven to 375 ℉.
3. Start breading the pieces, dipping them one by one in flour, egg and then breadcrumbs. Put them on a baking sheet, placed on a baking pan.
4. Once you are done breading all the eggplant pieces, bake them in the oven for 20 minutes at 375℉.
5. Take a baking dish which will fit all of your eggplant pieces.

  • Start layering by putting the marinara sauce at the bottom. 
  • Add the baked eggplant pieces on top of the sauce.
  • Add half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Mexican cheese blend.
  • Add a little bit more sauce on the top.
  • Put the remaining eggplant pieces and top off with the remaining mozzarella and Mexican cheese blend. Drizzle a little salt for taste.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 375℉.
7. Your cheesy homemade Eggplant Parmesan is ready. Serve hot 😍

My favorite go to summer looks 🕶👗

Image
I was cleaning my closet on a Sunday and getting my summer clothes out. Cleaning the closet turned into a fashion show, which I forced my fiancé to watch, which in turn led me to write this blog! So, here we go - my favorite go to summer looks!  1) Denim / Leggings with a sleeveless top : I personally hate wearing denims during the summers because I get too sweaty and sticky from wearing them. I always opt for leggings which are perfect to wear during summers if you don't want to wear anything short! Go with a nice neutral or beige color sleeveless top to make it look stylish.  Pair it with : A nice tote / shoulder bag  Slip on shoes Nude lip color 2) Loose cotton full sleeves top with leggings :  Wear a cotton full sleeves top with your leggings and tuck it in a messy way. This will help you elevate your look and it won't look baggy even with the loose top. The best part is you'll still feel nice and breezy even with a full s...
