Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sized Eggplants sliced 1/2" thick
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 11/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 jar Ragu Chunky Tomato Onion & Garlic Pasta Sauce
  • 1 medium white onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cups finely grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped Basil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut Eggplant into 1" slices. Lay sliced eggplant on a drying rack or paper towels and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to sit 5 minutes and absorb beaded water with a paper towel. Repeat on the other side.
  • Layer Ragu Chunky Tomato, Onion & Garlic Pasta Sauce in the bottom of a small casserole dish, set aside.
  • Combine Panko, Italian seasoning, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  • Stir 2 eggs in a shallow bowl until yolks and whites are blended. Dip each Eggplant slice in egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly, followed by coating them with the Panko mixture.
  • Add 1/2 of the Eggplant slices into the casserole dish on top of the Ragu and top with a couple of tablespoons (ish) of Ragu on each slice of coated eggplant.
  • Place onion slices on top of each piece and top with the remaining eggplant slices.
  • Pour remaining Ragu over Eggplant stacks and top with 1 cup shredded Mozzarella.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with remaining Mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake for another 5 - 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.
  • Serve topped with chopped Basil.
