Parmesan cheese eggplant

L’aubergine c’est vraiment le légume de l’été par excellence, et même si la saison est un peu décalée cette année (comme tout les fruits et légumes d’ailleurs), c’est encore l’occasion de profiter de ce légume dont on ne sait parfois pas quoi faire ! Et pour en profiter, voici un plat que j’avais envie de vous faire découvrir (au cas où vous ne connaissiez pas !), les aubergines à la parmesane. Un plat typiquement italien, dont je vous livre ma version, composé d’aubergines, de tomates et de fromage. A servir en plat unique, oui car c’est quand même pas mal nourrissant, and to make in advance if possible because it is even better reheated.
So run quickly to the market to look for eggplants, personally I bought some again this morning to make this dish again, because Monsieur and I really loved it ! So if you have any left, it doesn't matter, it will be even better the next day (or I'm waiting for your invitation !) !

- 4 medium eggplants
- 500 g of tomato sauce
- 1 buffalo mozzarella
- 50 g of pecorino
- 40 g of parmesan
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 bunch of basil
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 200°.
- Cut the aubergines into thin slices lengthwise. Fry them in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil until used up.
- Prepare the tomato sauce, to do this, put the crushed garlic clove in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, brown for a few minutes over medium heat then add the tomato. Chop the basil stems and half the leaves, then add them to the sauce. Leave to simmer 15 minutes then season.
- Mix together the grated pecorino and parmesan.
- In a baking dish put a layer of sauce at the bottom then cover with eggplants. Then add a little cheese, then tomato sauce, repeat the operation until the end. Finish by adding the mozzarella pieces and the rest of the cheese.
- Bake 20 minutes.
Serve with the remaining basil.
