Dear Alex,
I tried this recipe yesterday, and it was unbelievably delicious. Thank you for showing the way you use the baking sheet to lay out the eggplant for salting. And thanks for showing how you set up the flour, egg, and breadcrumb stations. I'm 72. My mother was Italian, and I've made this dish before -- but I've never seen the organization of steps like yours before. Thanks for sharing the tip about not using olive oil (which I was doing before) -- and the tip about how the hot oil prevents the eggplant from absorbing too much. Loved it! Wow. That really made a difference! Love your recipe for a simple marinara sauce. It's all simply brilliant. My daughter (the critic of the century) said it was the best thing she ever ate. I'm not kidding! Thanks again and best regards to you. J
I made this years ago... it’s the *BEST* eggplant Parmesan I’ve ever had! It’s our go to for life. 🥰
I stopped using bread crumbs 40 years ago and what a great difference it makes! I dip in seasoned flour then egg and fry them. I find this method the best and it comes out great, not greasy as it would when I used bread crumbs which tends to absorb the oil no matter how hot the oil gets.
I do the same. Why? At first, it was because my mother did it that way. Then, when I got serious about food, I tried bread crumbs to compare. For Eggplant Parm, no breadcrumbs. For sandwiches, I will bread the cutlets. Also, my Parm is not swimming in sauce. I use enough to make it interesting, but I don't use an excessive amount, Thanks for sharing the video.
I admire you Iron Chef Alex, you’re one of my favorite female chefs. You inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel and showcase Caribbean cooking. I hope you’ll support my channel
Gotta be the best recipe ever!!! You took the drudgery out and showed me how to make this fun!! Thanks so much!!!
I made this recipe several times and it’s always a hit with company. I printed this recipe of yours, out from a different location, on that one it called for fresh basil leaves torn in pieces, spread on layers. Thanks Alex!
Ohhh yay! My friend love eggplant parmigiana! I’ll have to try making this for her.
I made eggplant parmesan last week for the first time. Loved it so much I made it again 2days later 😩😅🤣🤣🤣🙌🏾 I season the breadcrumbs with italian seasoning and add parmesan cheese. Soo delicious.
Funny story. When I lived in Japan, a good friend from NY taught me how to make this dish. The eggplant in Japan is very little. So cutting up, breading, frying and making the dish took forever! But I made it a lot. I was thrilled when we came back stateside so I could have large eggplant. Lol. I haven’t made it in years now so glad I came across this today! Thank you! 💕
Japanese eggplant may be smaller, but it’s much much better, as it has way less seeds.
I love eggplant parm and that recipe looks so yummy!
When I get my hands on fresh eggplant, I ALWAYS turn to this recipe. It is, hands down, the best eggplant parmesean I've ever eaten. I have some going now, just waiting for it to come out of the oven. Thank you for sharing this beautiful recipe! 😋
Ok Alex, I have enjoyed you on Chopped and watching you in other programs, but I have to say that this is the best eggplant parmigiana I have ever made. It is November in California so I harvested most of my garden today and had the teeniest tiniest eggplants I have ever seen. I made the sauce with the romas, herbs and onions I harvested, as well, so I improvised a bit. Oh my. My husband and I have a new appreciation for your creative prowess. Yes, I could have eaten it straight from the frying pan even before all the cheese and sauce (actually I did). Kudos to you Alex!
This recipe looks great!! I love eggplant and love to watch Alex on Chopped!
Oh Alex I have ordered this from so many different places. No one has made it as yummy as you did. I followed all your instructions & I did it. I made your amazing Eggplant Parmigiana 😘💜😋🥰💋🎉
Eggplant parmesan is my favorite I've been craving it for so long but I never made it I may try it now
It's so much easier than I thought
Now, that's a good recipe.!!!
Yummmmm!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Alex I made it today for dinner! Came out perfect! Reminds me of eating it. Back home in New York City. Great recipe!
Oh, my goodness! I love eggplant parmesan! It's so extremely delicious!
April 20, 2024. I made this last night and OMG!!! Fabulous. I cut the recipe in half and used one large eggplant and had 12 pieces. This will be my standard recipe from now on. You rock, Alex.
Looks amazing. Will have to try now
Thank you Alex...A blessed Thanksgiving to you all! making this to accompany ours.
Girl I am making this now for my guy. I love your zeal for deliciousness Ty for sharing
Just amazing! My kids want this dish a few times a week. Thank you so much
Now this is something that I have to try.
I love you Alex you are absolutely the very best cook!
Love Alex!! Awesome
I love it! Its my favorite
I can’t wait to make this, I’ve looked at other videos but this is it for me. Always feel free to stop by my kitchen anytime. 😊
Ty
Looks soooo good!!!!
My grandma used to peel the eggplant, leaving strips unpeeled. After salting, she would place slices in a strainer with a weight on top, and some liquid would drain out. It was just her way, I wanted to share!
this looks sooooooo delicious!! Love ya Alex
I made this recipe!! Excellent, just magnificent.
I remove the skin and soak it in salt water...I might switch to her method of just using salt. I also layer mine with lasagna noodles, because...well because I'm fat and doing it this way makes me happy.
I never add salt, slice, let sit a bit on paper towels and that is it. Salt is in my eggs, sauce/gravy plus the cheese.
You live once so enjoy it
This comment makes me want to be your friend dude
Looks fantastic I am Italian and have been making it for years yours looks so delicious
Pan frying is how I do, it's what my Nonna did. I'm with you on that dish, oh my gosh is that a favorite of mine from childhood. My nonna grew the tomatoes, and the eggplant too. I feel very spoiled I got to enjoy her food, because food is love. Eggplant is my friend.
Out of all of the judges. Alex is my favorite 😍 ❤
Alex Im one of your fans bcs w u is nice to learn how to make delicious meals, this is another one yummy!
Did it......family loved it, thanks Alex😃
I grew eggplant this year in the garden and was looking for a way to use them. Followed your recipe, and made dinner, and 5 freezer meals. It was delish!!!! You and GZ are my go-to for recipes that never disappoint!! Thanks for sharing!!!! And to all the haters...............if you can't say something nice, just don't speak! Make your own channel and see what people say about your cooking! I'm guessing you won't like it!
It looks yummy😊
I have gotta make this
Omg! I gotta try this like yesterday
I have to be honest, I'm Italian and I looked at your video with skepticism ...
But as I looked at it I realized that you know what you are doing. Your recipe is correct and your advice makes sense. Good for the explanation on olive oil.
Compliments.
This Eggplant Parmesan recipe looks so delicious 😋 Alex.
Great recipe 😁
really looks good!
We tried this for the first time tonight: winner!
Yes, a fav Sicilian/Italian dinner dish, cheers :)
Had to come back here TY😘
Yummy!
This is a great recipe. It's one of my favorite meatless meals.
Today I decided to make your recipe and i got to say, you don't need two eggplants for this recipe, i made it with just one huge eggplant, It came out delicious
Depends on the size for how many you need, mine took two.
jeezis that looks good. I watch you every night on the food channel. you really 'know your o onions,' as my dad used to say.
Alex, you can come over to the barbecues we be having as right now I wanted to jump through my screen as that looked SO GOOD!
Know this is delicious!!
Alex is so awesome 🤩
God I love Alex. This is my dish to cook for friends soon.
I made this and it was a hit
Yummy 😋
Going to make that this Sunday I make eggplant Parmesan every week but hers looks a lot better than mine
I love you, Alex and I also love Eggplant Parmesan too. 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍆🍆🍆🍆🧀🧀🧀🧀
All of that cheesy and saucy and delicious goodness is just so good. It actually looks like a lasagna, but with eggplant instead of ground meat. Tell me your mouth isn't drooling from you watching this video. 😋👍🏻
Hy kathrynmo
How are you dear
Yum!
Alex, we haven't eaten it yet, but it looks fabulous! Hubby asked for it as a Lenten dish. I can't wait to dig in!
I love Eggplant Parmesan, the only thing I don't care for is the peel on it. I know my mom used to make fried eggplant when I was little, loved it.
Frying eggplant is just next level deliciousness as well as giving another level of flavour that is unparalleled. People who bang on about baking it instead are missing the point. There is a place for baking eggplant, this dish isn’t it. I mean, go and bake, but leave us that fry eggplant alone. You don’t know how to eat if you think it’s an equal alternative.
The beauty of TH-cam. You can select what you want. We selected the best channel to learn how to cook from.
What I do to help remind me of what goes in the bowls is to think of the word Feb. ( abbreviation for Februrary).. flour, egg and breadcrumbs. :)
It looks amazing! I’m not a fan of the skin so I’d remove that and also not a fan of the chunkier tomato sauce but hey it’s home made. Still came out amazing
I’m kinda drooling over here lol
Thank you
I want to try the food in the video
I LOVE EGGPLANT PARM!!! 🤤🤤🤤
Me too 😁
Would baking the prepped eggplant be a better idea than frying in oil? Seems like a healthier alternative.
you are hilarious, I'm a new fan
Good morning 🌞 everyone
I think I'd puree that sauce as I don't like whole cooked tomatoes in my sauce. Other than that, yum!
I SERVE MINE WITH AN ANGEL HAIR PASTA TOSSED IN FRESH GARLIC BUTTER AND FRESH CHOPPED FLATLEAF PARSLEY
I wish I could share photos to you of your dish that I'm making now!
My favorite cougar😋
You the BOSS.....
Eggggggcellent recipe Alex!
Looked very watery
I didn’t think a professional network would make an unprofessional video like this
😋
Are we going to gloss over the fact that the song from It’s Always Sunny starts playing at 0:54
I noticed that too!
heroinhero69 ah man, very true
It’s classic public domain music used many places and long before always Sunny
Eggplant parmesan begins with the question, "how do we make something healthy fattening"
The huge purple egg plant HAS to be pre cooked. Try baking egg plant parmesan without pre frying and you will never get it cooked properly, you will have to throw it out.
Just bake the eggplant instead of frying
@@sandrapileggi9565 Did you actually read what I commented? I cooked for a career 25 years.
I guess I didn't read your comment fully. My mother bakes the eggplant after it has been breaded to get it crispy. She then assembles the parmigiana. It's amazing and she has been cooking for 65 years. She is of Italian origin and made this dish in Italy as well as Canada.
One must indulge once in awhile.
Your tomato sauce is a bit watery :-) I try to do it with my homemade sauce that is a bit thick. Thanks for sharing
We love you, Alex! Looks amazing. But damn, girl... that looked like $30+ of cheese in that dish. The good buffalo Moz, good aged Parm, sharp Provolone... adds up real quick. At least where I shop it does.
Jesus Christ that looks so glorious
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤
I looked up recipes for Eggplant Parmesan. This was the first one I found. (I know how to make it, although I was doing an experiment.) This looks amazing.
I went out for dinner yesterday. I ordered Eggplant Parmesan. They served me one big fried slice of fried eggplant with a little bit of cheese melted on top. Then they put it on a plate with a side of over cooked spaghetti and covered the whole thing with a ton of sauce. No baking or bubbly cheese. I literally just looked at it and thought WTHELL? It was so disappointing. I'll never go back there, I tell ya. 🍆🍅🧀
I'm so in love with alex.she is my dream woman
Idk who would call eggplant not fun. I think they are super ffun 😁 what other vegetable looks like that
I make a delicious eggplant parm!! But.... how do you know if your eggplant is full of seeds and bitter bitter?
Good question and that was always my biggest hurdle with eggplant dishes, the seeds especially since the salting doesn’t help that. The answer: use Japanese thin eggplant, way less seeds. They are the superior eggplant in my mind.
Provolone for an eggplant parmigiana… no words honestly, just wondering where the American and Swiss is !?
Alex, I have an idea for a show you could do. I absolutely hate eggplant. The show would be to prepare a hated ingredient recipe for the hater. Your job is to convince them. You could do it!
The actual real way is just Parm cheese, no mozz
Hm, I thought it looked too soggy but all the comments below from people who made it make me second guess myself now lol.
Yea nuffing taste good like a 630 cfm carborator
