How to Prepare Baked Eggplants with Tomatoes

Let’s start preparing Baked Eggplants with Tomatoes by slicing the eggplant thinly,
brush each slice with extra virgin olive oil,
dip them in breadcrumbs and gradually place them on the baking tray.
Spray them with oil and cook in a fan oven at 356°F (180°C) for 15 minutes or in an air fryer at 374°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the tomato, keep in mind that each eggplant slice will hold half a tomato slice.
After cooking the eggplants, take them out and place a slice of scamorza or pizza mozzarella on each
and half a tomato slice,
fold the eggplant in half and secure it with a toothpick,
put back in a static oven at 356°F (180°C) for 5 minutes or in an air fryer at 356°F (180°C) for 4 minutes, just enough time to melt the cheese.
