Instructions
Slice and sweat the eggplant
First, slice the eggplant into ½-inch thick rounds.
Sprinkle salt over them to draw out moisture and set aside for 15 minutes. When the time's over, pat eggplant rounds dry with a paper towel.
Bake the eggplant
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it's heating, line a baking dish with baking paper.
Dip each eggplant slice into the eggwash and dredge it in the almond meal mixture, pressing gently to coat it well.
Then, place the eggplant slices in the lined baking dish.
Transfer them to the preheated oven and bake the eggplants for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
Assemble the dish
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Lay baked eggplant slices in a single layer on top of the sauce and cover them with grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Then, add another layer of sauce, eggplant slices, and cheese.
Repeat until you use all the baked eggplant slices. Make sure you end up with a layer of cheese on top.
Bake again
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
