Authentic Eggplant Parm (melanzane Alla Parmigiana)
Authentic Sicilian Melanzane alla Parmigiana. Fun fact: the name doesn’t actually come from Parmigiano cheese, but from the Sicilian word “parmiciana,” which refers to the wooden slats of a window shutter — just like the way the eggplant is layered. This dish is all about simplicity: fried eggplant, a light tomato sauce, fresh basil, and cheese layered together into something rich but balanced. Traditionally served at room temperature or even cold, it’s one of those dishes that somehow gets better as it sits.
