Ingredients:
- 2 eggplants (about 2 lbs each)
- 1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices (di bufala)
- kosher salt , to taste
Directions:
- Heat grill to medium or grill pan over high heat until very hot.
- Peel stem off the top of the eggplant,remove skin leaving stripes of skin to hold eggplant together as it grills. Cut eggplant, using bread knife, into 1/2 inch-thick slices.
- Place sliced eggplant on cookie sheet and brush with olive oil, pepper, Kosher salt on both sides. Place on grill and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes on the first side. (For darker marks use bottle as a weight to press down on slices).
- Turn over slices and cook for about half as long as first side, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove eggplant from grill pan - cover with foil, eggplant will continue to cook a little.
- Oil baking sheet and assemble stacks, starting with the largest slices of eggplant as the bottom row. Spread 1/4 cup of basic tomato sauce over each slice and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon grated Parmigiano. Repeat the layering of eggplant, sauce and Parmigiano. End with a layer of eggplant, sauce and buffalo mozzarella, sprinkled with Parmigiano. Three layers in total.
- Place under the broiler for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Transfer stacks to serving plates, using a metal spatula.
- Serving: Serve garnished with torn basil leaves strewn around, toasted breadcrumbs on top and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
