Slice the eggplants lengthwise, salt them, and rest in a sieve for 25 minutes.
Dry the eggplants and dust them lightly with flour.
Fry the eggplants in olive oil for 2 minutes on each side.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in a baking dish.
Layer the eggplant, mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, and sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and black pepper over the top.
Bake at 190°C for 25 minutes, until bubbling and browned.
Rest for 10 minutes before slicing so the layers hold together.
💡 Tip: Salting the eggplant draws out excess water and helps it absorb less oil during frying.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Rest for 10 minutes after baking and serve with a green salad.
