Robin Millers Neapolitan Eggplant Parmesan Food

MIKE'S DELI FAMOUS EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and heat oil in a large pan, Dutch oven or deep-fryer.
• Peel the eggplant and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Coat each side of the eggplant with the flour.
• In a separate bowl beat 4 eggs and dip the eggplant into the egg to coat both sides. Then take your bread crumbs and do the same to coat each side.
• Once the oil is hot, put the eggplant in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. You can also use a deep-fryer and leave in for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Once all of the eggplant has been fried, get a rectangular baking pan and start the layering by adding the marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan, then the eggplant, more sauce, fresh mozzarella, Romano cheese, and continue to layer until you have reached the top of the pan. Top off with sauce, mozzarella, and grated Romano
• Place the eggplant into the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes.

MIXED VEGETABLE QUICHE WITH CHEDDAR AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Press pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch, removable-bottom tart pan (or 9-inch pie pan). Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine spinach, stir-fried vegetables and place on top of uncooked crust. In another bowl combine ricotta, cheddar, milk, eggs, Dijon, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Spoon cheese mixture on top of vegetable mixture in prepared pie crust and top with Parmesan.
• Bake 20 minutes, until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and crust is golden brown.

TUNA NICOISE SALAD WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Add the mesclun greens to bowl with dressing and toss. Put greens on platter and set bowl aside with leftover dressing, to drizzle over other ingredients at end.
• Slice tuna steaks on bias and arrange on top of greens. Scatter the olives and cherry or grape tomatoes over the salad. Add the reserved, cooked and cut Yukon gold potatoes and reserved green beans. Drain capers and scatter on top of greens. With kitchen shears, snip the parsley over the salad. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan over top of salad along with any leftover dressing.

LOW-CARB CHEESY EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Perheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cover large cookie sheets with non-stick aluminum foil.
• Slice eggplants into 1/4" slices. I like to use a home meat slicer for uniform, beautiful slices.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs until incorporated along with the mixed Italian herbs and pepper.
• Lay out the eggplant on the cookie sheets.
• Using a basting brush, paint the slices with the egg mixture.
• Sprinkle a generous amount of the shredded Parmesan cheese over the top of the eggplant slices.
• Cook the slices at 425 degrees F for 20-30 minutes until brown on top, with the Parmesan cheese melted.
• Meanwhile, brown the hot Italian sausage in a skillet.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F once the eggplant slices have finished cooking.
• Spray a 9X13 oven safe casserole dish with a cooking spray or olive oil. Put a small amount of sauce on the bottom, then layer some of the eggplant slices over the sauces creating the first layer.
• Next, add some more sauce over the eggplant, spread some of the sausage next, then add some ricotta cheese. Add another layer of eggplant and repeat until you use it all up.
• Top with a final layer of eggplant, then the mozzerella cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes to heat the casserole and melt the cheese.
• Let sit for about 5 minutes to set up, slice and serve. Great as a leftover as well.

BAKED INDIVIDUAL EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Cut the eggplants lengthwise into 3/4 to 1 inch thick slices. Place a few slices in a colander and sprinkle with a little of the salt. Continue to slice the eggplants and place them in the colander with salt. Place a plate that just covers the eggplant on top, and then weight it down with a heavy can or canister. Let the eggplant drain in the sink for about 45 minutes. Pat the eggplant dry.
• While the eggplant is being purged of any bitterness, begin the sauce by heating the olive oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute or two. Next add the tomatoes, salt pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook over low heat until the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. Add the chopped basil and mix well.
• Turn on the broiler in the oven and place the eggplant slices flat on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Lightly brush the top of the eggplants with olive oil and then broil until lightly browned.
• Turn the eggplant, and brown the other side. Continue in this manner until all of the eggplant slices have been browned.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. F. In a large baking pan, first spoon in a little sauce to just barely cover the bottom of the pan. Place a layer of eggplant slices side by side without touching each other.
• Spoon a little sauce on each slice, and then sprinkle a little of each of the grated cheeses.
• Choose another slice of equal size for each of the prepared eggplant slices in the pan, and cover each one with this second slice. Spoon some sauce on each of these slices, and then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Bake the eggplant until bubbly and lightly browned, about 35 to 40 minutes.
