CLASSIC EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA | Best Italian Comfort Food Recipe!

Today we're making egg and cheese Neapolitan eggplant parmesan (parmigiana di melanzane). This was the way my Grandmother always made it for us growing up. Frying the eggplant discs in a simple Pecorino Romano cheese and egg batter is so delicious. The pieces are so good that you just want to eat them as is. But push on and make the parmigiana with a simple marinara, some basil, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and mozzarella. I hope you enjoy and learn how to make this eggplant parm recipe!
