Ingredients:

<li data-ingredient="1 eggplant (about 400g), sliced into rounds

<li data-ingredient="1 cup breadcrumbs

<li data-ingredient="1 cup grated parmesan cheese

<li data-ingredient="1 cup tomato sauce

<li data-ingredient="1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

<li data-ingredient="2 eggs

<li data-ingredient="1/2 cup milk

<li data-ingredient="Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

To start, preheat your waffle iron. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg wash, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese. Place the coated eggplant slices on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and crispy.

Once the eggplant slices are cooked, it’s time to assemble the waffled eggplant parmesan. Layer a slice of crispy eggplant with a spoonful of tomato sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering process, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.

Carefully place the assembled eggplant parmesan into the preheated waffle iron and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are crispy. Remove from the waffle iron and let it cool slightly before serving.

This whimsical waffled eggplant parmesan dish weighs approximately 1200g and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 300g and has an estimated calorie count of 400.

A clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle some fresh basil or parsley on top of the eggplant parmesan just before serving to add a fresh herbaceous flavor to the dish.
