Hello friends,
I’ve made this recipe millions of times but the article was missing on the blog. I already published a light version with grilled eggplants, and here I am to propose my Calabrian version of eggplant parmesan with little tomato and a rich filling, a real delight!
Sure, it’s usually prepared in the summer with seasonal eggplants, but who can wait that long? Now we have eggplants all year round, the important thing is to choose the round purple ones that are sweeter, for a good result and to enjoy it all year round.
My version has little tomato to better savor the taste of the eggplants, a dryer and very tasty parmesan thanks to the addition of an aromatic breadcrumb mix.
Everyone prepares and fills it according to their tastes, some flour the eggplants, some coat them in egg, but I like to enjoy the fried slice without breading.
The nice season is coming, and outings begin, what better way than preparing a good tray to enjoy outdoors, or a good slice for lunch break at work or for Sunday with family or friends.
If you want to prepare it too, follow the recipe with all the steps, a bit of work in the kitchen but it’s really worth it!

Anna’s advice…
The parmesan should be left to rest before being enjoyed, actually, it’s even better the next day. You can store it in the fridge covered with plastic wrap.
As for the filling, you can customize it according to your tastes. Provolone can be replaced with mozzarella or caciocavallo, and if you want to be bold, you can add salami and hard-boiled eggs like in the Calabrian recipe!
