Baked Eggplant Parmesan
This whole baked eggplant is an elegant ode to Italian simplicity, delicately fanned with slender slits and nestled with ribbons of creamy mozzarella and finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano, then crowned with ripe tomatoes and a luxurious pour of velvety tomato sauce. As it gently roasts, the eggplant becomes exquisitely tender while the cheeses melt into its delicate folds, creating a sumptuous tapestry of sweet tomato, savory richness, and subtle smokiness. Finished with fragrant fresh basil leaves, this beautiful dish is both rustic and refined—a graceful celebration of simple ingredients transformed into something utterly irresistible.
