Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parmesan or Parmigiana di Melanzane is a classic Italian dish, and for vegetarians, one of the most satisfying plates you could imagine.

Eggplant Parmesan is a prime example of a very straightforward recipe but with variations ranging from a quick and simple Deli version to a plate worthy of gourmet fine dining. How does the home cook decide which techniques to use?
