1 cup button mushrooms
1 cup oyster mushrooms
1/2 cup dry white wine
Put pancetta in skillet and brown in pan and remove, cook red onion and cook mushrooms in pan with
pinch red pepper flakes to taste -some like it hot! and after cooked remove and deglaze with dry white
wine. Add marinara to this base (whatever your favorite one is!). I make my own with San Marzano
tomatoes, oil and garlic sautéed lightly and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Cut ends off eggplant and peel every other row (skin adds fiber and texture) slice and put on rack and
salt for 25 minutes and wipe salt off and press down with cloth towel to remove excess water.

All-purpose flour
5 Large eggplants (I like to mix purple and white-whatever is available at your local green grocer)
Heat Canola oil and EVO olive oil in frying pan
Eggs wash -4 eggs and splash of cold water
Panko breadcrumbs (seasoned)
Take eggplant slice, dip in flour, egg wash and then press seasoned Panko breadcrumbs onto eggplant
(make sure they are coated evenly and well).
Fry eggplant slices until golden brown
Let settle on paper towels in layers to drain any excess oil
In a large Iron skillet – coat pan with thin film of oil and light layer of sauce followed by freshly grated
parmesan cheese to give pseudo crust , layer the eggplant followed by sauce, parmesan and mozzarella –
either grated or thin slices if using fresh mozzarella, continue to do another layer with same 3
ingredients.
Put in oven at 375 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly!
Serve to friends and family with loaf of fresh Italian bread and good wine, good music and laughter!
