Finally, Step by Step! / How to Make Baked Eggplant Parmesan ❤️

Every time my Ron and i dine at an Italian restaurant Eggplant Parmesan is gonna be my choice from the menu. I love Italian food, but there's something about eggplant Parmesan that I love especially when it's made fresh. I love it the most when it's not breaded because I think that breading and frying it is just to much. This is an easy recipe and I'll show you how to make it Step by Step with simple ingredients, my mama showed me how to cook and she always explained the steps clearly and now I do the same. I hope you give it a try.❤️

    Oh my dear Rachel, you have both Johnny and me smiling ear to ear as I had to show him this recipe. Eggplant parm is one of his favorite dishes and I sincerely love this quite healthy version of this dish. Now that I can buy Impossible Beef by the pound, it will be perfect to use as the meat in this dish. It has a wonderful taste especially once the spices and tomatoes will go in. Thank you so much for this perfect dish for us. I hope it's been a wonderful week for y'all and here goes wishes for a weekend filled with smiles and bliss. As always mi muy querida amiga, here goes tons of love headed in your direction.

Don’t get me wrong ,it is delicious,but I love your eggplant parmigiana idea too. I’m going to try it as soon as the eggplant is ready to harvest from my garden. Meanwhile I might try to improvise with zucchini because they are here in abundance. Thank you again I love watching you 😊

I wonder if u could chop the eggplant into chunks, cut back on the meat and put it on top of a Grilled Fish? I would love it if u could give us more fish recipes + it's a tender, easy to digest meat. I LOVE FISH too. Thank u sweet friend, u are so thoughtful in all u make! ❤

    The best eggplant parmigiana that I have ever had was in Sicily. Oh my goodness. It was baked, not fried, and served as a starter as a tiny casserole and not a main dish. I'll never get the chef's family recipe for his parmigiana but I love to play around with recipes. This one looks delicious. I've not had the dish served with a meat sauce but I know my husband will enjoy it. And, yes, I do want you to create a video featuring that lovely salad with homemade dressing!
