Fresh Eggplant Parmesan

There is nothing better than fresh food made from scratch! This eggplant parmesan was made with all natural and fresh ingredients, most of which was grown right in my backyard! The sauce is made fresh from cherry tomatoes I picked, the ricotta is made from scratch, and the eggplant is right out of the garden! I also used fresh grated parmesan cheese and fresh mozzarella.  There is nothing better! Simply delicious :-)

I started the fresh cherry tomato sauce first thing in the morning! See the "How To" video below!

The eggplant was washed, sliced, coated with egg and breadcrumbs and roasted in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Roasted eggplant was set aside until needed.

When the sauce was done (about 3 hours later) I made fresh ricotta! Check out the video below to see how easy it is!

Then I assembled the eggplant parmesan. I started with a layer of sauce, then a layer of eggplant.

Over that I added 1/2 of the fresh ricotta, parmesan cheese, and more sauce.

Another layer of eggplant, the other 1/2 of the ricotta, parmesan cheese, and then more sauce! Top it off with fresh grated mozzarella.

Bake in the oven at 350 for about 25 minutes and the cheese on top is melted and browned.

Simply delicious!
