Steps for preparing eggplants pizzaiola style
Wash the eggplants and cut them in half lengthwise. Make cuts in the flesh, forming squares, without reaching the bottom. Chop basil and parsley with the garlic. Gather in a bowl, add oil, salt, and pepper. Season the eggplants with the obtained sauce. Bake at 356°F, static, until they become golden.
Meanwhile, season the tomato sauce with oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cut the mozzarellas into cubes.
Remove the eggplants from the oven, top them with the tomato sauce, mozzarella, and put back in the oven just long enough to melt the mozzarella. Delicious both hot and cold.
Storage
You can store the eggplants well-covered in the fridge for a couple of days.
