Eggplant parmesan is a classic dish that can be adjusted to your preferences - for flavor, texture, and cooking methods. I like popping my breaded eggplant in the oven to avoid the frying time over the stove, then layering with lots of roasted homegrown tomato sauce.

We love to pair eggplant parmesan with meat balls or simply roasted chicken, dipped in some basil butter or marinara.
