How to Make Eggplant Aubergine Asiago
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel the eggplant and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.
- Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each eggplant slice first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Fry 4 eggplant slices at a time in the hot oil, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and tender.
- Remove the fried eggplant slices and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- While the eggplant is frying, prepare the tomato sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, sugar, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and white wine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In an 8x8 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce.
- Arrange a single layer of fried eggplant slices over the sauce.
- Pour another layer of tomato sauce over the eggplant.
- Sprinkle generously with Asiago cheese.
- Repeat layers until all the eggplant and sauce are used, ending with a layer of cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with crusty bread, a fresh salad, and a glass of wine!
