I’ve been kind of obsessed with eggplant lately, so it’s not a surprise that we tried our hand at eggplant parmesan. This is so easy to make and tastes AMAZING! Eggplant Parmesan also called parmigiana di melanzane or melanzane alla parmigiana is a dish made with breaded and fried with cheese and salsa (Italian sauce). It is a dish full of amazing flavors that really makes a wonderful meal. It is said to come from Campania and Sicily. I remember as a girl my neighbor had her Italian Mother-in-law come to visit. The kitchen smelled of garlic and tomato, as she worked wonders making this amazing dish. I’d never eaten eggplant before this but was in for a big surprise.
