Skillet Eggplant Parmigiana

eggplant parmigiana

This eggplant Parmigiana has got to be my favorite healthier Italian dishes. It’s so simple to make, comforting, and good for you to! Usually I make a big casserole dish filled with Eggplant Parmigiana stacks. It’s way more than enough for 2, sometimes 3 dinners. So when I got a craving for Eggplant Parm the other day for lunch, I decided to make a much smaller portion, and use less dishes to do it!

This Eggplant Parmigiana just takes one skillet. You coat the eggplant slices in egg then in breadcrumbs before browning on each side. Then just add some jarred marinara sauce, or fresh, and the cheese. Let the cheese melt in the oven before adding the good stuff – the Parmesan and fresh basil. Then serve with a simple salad, or by itself. It makes a wonderfully filling quick lunch, perfect for weekends or any day your family may be home during the day.

And yes it is very reminiscent of fab 70’s gold (but a little lighter and brighter), and that’s why I adore it so much. You can see Le Creuset’s full line of Quince cookware here.
