Sorry it's been so long since I updated this!
It's been a really hectic month because I've been trying to look and apply for jobs as much as possible since the summer is starting to wind down.
The other night I didn't get back to the cabin until 9pm but I had a plan to make eggplant parmesan and nothing was going to stop me!
I started by salting the eggplant and laying it on pans lined with paper towel. This pulls out the bitterness of the eggplant. After about twenty minutes I rinsed it off, dried it, and breaded it. Then baked it in the oven on a sheet pan until browned and crispy (flipping once). Then, in a lasagna pan I layered the eggplant with spaghetti sauce, cheese, herbs, and some sliced cherry tomatoes and baked until bubbly!
It was amazing!
I took it for lunch on multiple days with a roll and made eggplant sandwiches warmed in the microwave at work.
It takes a little time to make (I think I finally ate at about 10pm....) but it's not difficult and definitely worth the wait!
