eggplant parmesan

Cheesy aubergine casserole

Eggplant parmesan is an Italian-American dish of breaded, fried eggplant slices layered with tomato sauce and melted cheese, then baked.

The name follows the pattern of chicken parmesan and veal parmesan, though eggplant parmesan predates both.

Also called eggplant parmigiana or, informally, eggplant parm: We ordered the eggplant parm as an appetizer.
