Eggplant Stacks

Do you love Italian food like me?? I love this take on eggplant Parmesan where there is added spinach, yummy goat cheese instead of Parmesan and is stacked in super yummy layers!

Ingredients:

For eggplant—>

1 super large 🍆 (or 2 smaller ones) 

2 cups bread crumbs

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika 

2 cups grapeseed or peanut oil 

2 eggs

2 cups marinara (easy marinara recipe on blog!)

1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

3 cups spinach

Fresh basil

Directions:

1. In a large pan, heat up oil 
2. In a shallow dish, add bread crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.  Mix well.
3. In a bowl, whisk the 2 eggs 
4. Slice your eggplant into 1/4 inch thick slices.  Then dip each slice into the eggs and then breadcrumbs.
5. Without crowding the pan, drop the eggplant into the oil to flash fry each piece.  Once browned removed from pan and let excess oil drain off.
6. Let the stacking begin—first place some marinara sauce, then spinach, eggplant, marinara, spinach, goat cheese.  For the top eggplant slice just add the marinara, goat cheese and add a basil leaf. Bon Appetite!
