Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Start by cutting the top and bottom off the eggplant. Cut it into 1/8-inch slices. Whisk 2 eggs with 1/4 cup milk. Lay out 3 cups of bread crumbs on paper towel. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup oil. Take each piece of eggplant and dip in the egg wash, then in bread crumbs and make sure to completely cover each piece with bread crumbs, and then fry in hot oil. Brown each slice of eggplant. Occasionally change the oil; you don't want to continue cooking eggplant slices with burnt loose bread crumbs. Place fried eggplant on paper towel to absorb some of the oil. Slice the fresh mozzarella.
  3. Line the bottom of an 11 by 9 inch glass pan with a layer of sauce. Place a layer of eggplant, followed by slice of mozzarella, a heaping layer of sauce, then sprinkle with a layer of Pecorino Romano cheese. Repeat, and stack about 3 to 4 eggplants high. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes. You know it's ready when the sauce bubbles and the cheese is melted.
  4. Tomato Sauce:
  5. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  6. 1 garlic clove, minced
  7. 1 teaspoon water
  8. 1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes with their juices, diced
  9. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  10. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  11. 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  12. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  13. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it becomes fragrant. Mix the garlic with 1 teaspoon water and carefully add this to the warm oil. Saute the garlic and cook without browning it. Add the tomatoes, bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the basil, salt and sugar, and simmer 5 more minutes. Just before serving, blend in the last tablespoon of olive oil.
