A timeless classic of Italian cuisine: Parmigiana di Melanzane. The recipe is from Fontana and has been adapted by us for practical use in the (pizza) oven.

Ingredients (for 8 portions)

  • 600 g aubergines
  • 600 g tomato sauce
  • 250 g mozzarella
  • 80 g grated Parmesan
  • Fine salt to taste
  • Coarse salt to taste
  • Basil to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil to taste

Preparation

Prepare the aubergines

  1. Slice the aubergines thinly.
  2. Sprinkle with coarse salt and let the expelled liquid drain into a perforated container or sieve.
  3. Grill the aubergine slices on both sides.

Layering and forming the bake

  1. Brush an ovenproof dish with a little olive oil.
  2. Arrange a layer of aubergines and top with tomato sauce, mozzarella slices, grated Parmesan and basil.
  3. Repeat until there are about 5 layers.

Baking

Oven temperature: 180 °C

Baking time: about 25 minutes

The Parmigiana di Melanzane is now ready to serve.

Tips for the pizza oven

  • The aubergine slices can be roasted on both sides in a wood-fired or gas pizza oven on a grill or cast-iron grate.
  • For ovens with strong top heat, cover the dish briefly if necessary so the cheese does not brown too quickly.
  • Ovenproof dishes made of metal, enamel or cast iron distribute heat evenly.
