Ingredients
- 2 eggplant
- 1 2/5 lb cherry tomatoes
- 4 garlic
- 5 3/10 oz mozzarella
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup parmesan
- 5 basil
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F).
- 2Slice the eggplants into 1 cm thick rounds, sprinkle them with salt, and let them rest for 10 minutes to draw out bitterness.
- 3Pat the slices dry with paper towels and brush both sides with olive oil.
- 4Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- 5While the eggplant roasts, halve the cherry tomatoes and mince the garlic.
- 6In a mixing bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, minced garlic, anchovy fillets, and a pinch of black pepper; stir to blend.
- 7When the eggplant is almost done, remove the sheet and top each slice with a spoonful of the tomato mixture, a slice of fresh mozzarella, and a sprinkle of plain bread crumbs and grated parmesan.
- 8Return the sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown.
- 9Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top.
- 10Serve immediately, optionally adding extra grated parmesan.
