I'm very late to the party but I watched this video probably over 7 years ago and have been making this recipe ever since with a few minor tweaks and it's the best Eggplant Parmigiana ever. Thanks Gianni for leaving this wonderful recipe online for us all to use, I refer back to it quite often when I forget a step.
Gianni, I've watched probably 50+ videos of how to prepare Parmigiana di Melenzane, and of the American one's, you're the most authentic IMHO. Born in Naples, and living there on and off my entire life, I've eaten my share. Not peeled, no breadcrumbs (YUK) and made with a simple " Shué Shué" sauce, and fior di latte, you nailed it buddy! Sei proprio bravo!!!
Grazie. This was one of the first dishes I made while I was in Napoli from late last November through Christmas. This was one of the first dishes I made. I was nervous when I served it at lunch, but I got lucky. My Neapolitan friends loved it. Buon appetito! --Gianni
I made this dish and was a little worried about leaving the skin on and not using bread crumbs. I must say that this is one delicious dish. My wife could not stop raving about how tasty and light it was. We were both satisfied and left the table not feeling like we had a heavy meal. Thank you so much. This is a re-order!
I grew up with an Italian grandmother, and i didn't realize how much i missed her cooking until i started watching your channel!..so i ran out to the store and picked up everything i needed to make eggplant parmigiana. thank you for sharing a wonderful recipe. Mike
I saw this recipe some months ago and decided to grow globe Aubergines (Eggplant here in the USA) to use in this recipe. Harvested them today. Had all the other ingredients ready and followed the recipe and directions exactly. I must say it is SPECTACULAR on every level. I never dreamed that this somewhat tastless bitter vegetable could be transformed into a tender delight bathed in the most delectable sauce.I have added this to my top 10 list of favourite recipes.Thank You so much Gianni for sharing this meal with us.Candy. A Welsh woman marooned in South Dakota. Bringing the world to my door through food....
Ciao Candy. Wow, you grew your own eggplant. I'm impressed. I don't have any place to garden and I miss growing my own. Luckily we have many organic farmers here in the San Francisco Bay Area to ensure quality ingredients. I am happy that you enjoyed one of my favorite dishes. Keep on cooking! Buon appetito! --Gianni
Hi Gianni. Glad I found your videos. Eggplant Parm is also my favorite dish ever. I have tried breadcrumbs vs flour and salting vs not salting the eggplant and I agree with everything you said. I have never tried an egg wash before and I think that will solve my over-oily frying problems. Can't wait to try it. Thank you so much! Best Eggplant Parm recipe on you tube.
I'm very glad you make vegetarian recipes, as a vegetarian family, we enjoy authentic Italian food regularly. I enjoy the passion you have for cooking.
I made this yesterday and I am crazy over it. I deeply appreciate your time to demonstrate. It was very clear, I watched the video and I knew what to do and this is my first time making it. It's simple, delicious and I am a fan of your cooking.
From now on, I'm going to have my extra sauce on the side for my bread. I am minimizing on the eggplant as you said. The eggplant and cheese is the star of this show! TY!
Truly wonderful Gianni! I think it's great how you covered the breadcrumb alternative even though you disapprove. Your videos are so informative. Thank you!
GORGEOUS! And I can smell my Nonna's kitchen all over again. How I miss that lady. She made a cookie at pascha I've never seen since she died in 1989. Thanks for the memories. And the tutorial.
I've been trying to make a good eggplant parmigiana for decades now. Gianni! Your recipe is the best! Every time I cook it....I put you on my computer (and my Bose for good audio) and you and I go at it. Thank you so much, I love your instruction and the recipe comes out great (finally!) every time - Gracie!
This dish is also my fav in the whole world. My grand father came from Naples Italy and my grand mother from Portugal. This way you make is almost how I make it and you do have to have the both cheeses. The way I start it I slice my eggplant thin and dry it out for a couple of days btween paper towels. Then I do the egg wash but I add about a cup of half and half proceed the way you do. When I make this I make a lot w some to freeze. Mr Gianni's recipe is the only way to go for eggplant parm. One more thing when I watch your videos I feel like I am at home with my dad. He is the one I learned from.
I wanted to express thanks for this video and recipe. My wife and I loved it. Very wise part on not making the thing too wet with wet sauce/gravy. Hats-off! and thank you.
I started working in an Italian restaurant as a kid and that’s how I was taught to fry eggplant. And oh did the kitchen smell good when it was frying day. When I do fry with breadcrumbs I use flavoured crumbs and with the left over egg wash I mix the left over crumbs with the egg wash and fry in the hot oil. Nice touch with tomorrows eggs.
I LOVE your recipe, and to satisfy all, I make half the dish with breadcrumbs and half without. Either way, people that taste tested it loved it both ways and were just happy to have a lovely dinner. Served it with tomato bread salad with fresh tomatoes from the garden. Amazing.
That looks just awesome. That was a very nice eggplant with no seeds and obviously you used nothing but the best ingredients. And it looks delicious. Bravo!
I tried your recipe last night for dinner and it was brilliant. That was the best egg plant parmigiana that I have ever eaten . So good, I even had it for breakfast
Ciao Dora. Thanks for sharing. Yeah I've been known to eat a piece of eggplant parmigiano the next morning right out of the fridge. Keep on cooking! --Gianni
This was SO good the first time I made it (I credited YOU, Gianni) that I'm making it again. Thanks for holding my hand through the entire preparation.
Gianni.... BRAVO!!!!!... You are now my favorite TV Chef.... You really deserve a show on food TV... I made your Eggplant Parmigiana and it's now my favorite meal for my family.... THANK YOU... :)... So much for sharing... I love your videos and wish you much success, health and long life. Gotta ask you if you are a retired Copper?... if not... you would have made a great fireman in that most firemen are great chefs...again.. thanks for this Top Shelf Recipe... I've tried others.. but your recipe is the BEST!!!!... Thanks Again... :)
Gianni Thank you for this recipe as it was absolutely delicious. I will make it often. you are an excellent chef and i love all your recipes I have tried. thank for for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to prepare this tutorial. We easily settled for this excellent demonstration after watching a handful of others which simply 'didn't cut the mustard'. Watching a real Italian Chef at work is very encouraging and we especially like how you acknowledge the controversial issues but leaving it for others to decide. The end result is exactly what we're aiming for - not too greasy and full of flavor. We have subscribed and look forward to following other recipes from your extensive collection. Now off to purchase the ingredients for tonight's dinner - Bellissimo!
Ciao. Thanks for your support. I love sharing my home cook recipes that I've been enjoying all my life. I hope you found all the ingredients for the parmigiana. Let me know how it turns out. Keep on cooking. Buon appetito! --Gianni
Our new friend... we are just about to sit down for dinner... hope we can find a way to send you some pics... thanks again all the way from England, UK...
Great job Gianni, It's my favorite as well. I've made it both ways and like both. The crumbs make it a bit heavier dish. Definitely lighter version without.
OMG! This is so awesome! I made this for a couple of friends of mine that said that they hated eggplant. They enjoyed extra servings of this entrée and raved about it. Like most people that claim that they hate eggplant, they never had it prepped correctly. Same goes for portabella mushrooms. Eggplant and portabella mushrooms are so rich that you never notice that entrée’s such as this one are meatless.
Thanks Gianni. I consider myself as being a good cook with many years of experience but I'm always learning. I am learning how to cook authentic Italian cuisine from you and Antonio Carluccio on your respective you tube channels. Thank you so very much for sharing your recipes and videos with the world. It is greatly appreciated!
Dale Meyer Ciao Dale. I've learned a lot from Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo in the Two Greedy Italians BBC series. Do you want to share one of your favorite Italian recipes?
I've never ordered eggplant parmesan because it just didn't sound good, you changed my mind. I will try your recipe for me and my friends thanks for your tips, great video.
Wow, I learned so much from you about this dish. I am going to try without the breadcrumb. I like the way yours looked with just the flour and egg wash. Thank you so much. I am going to cook some right now.
Hi Gianni, use to go to Ceasers in North Beach a lot and loved there eggplant parmasagne. Will miss that restaurant. Your video is awesome will definitely try it out.. Gratzi.. Aldo
Prepared my first eggplant parmigiana. Absolutely delicious! First time eating eggplant. I wanted to try eggplant. So glad to have found you on UA-cam.
Grazie. I enjoy many meatless dishes and make them often. Plant-based dishes are delicious and are a big part of repertoire. I hope you've downloaded my Vegetable eBook. It has 13 of my favorite vegetable dishes. Just like Gianni's North Beach and it's free.
I've followed this recipe every time I craved this dish for two years! I definitely find the only-egg battered eggplants tastier than with breadcrumbs. Every individual component of this recipe is delicious; I can't help but snack on everything as I cook it. You do a great job of making sure we get the most out of our ingredients in every step of the process and I appreciate it a lot. Your tips for this one dish have stuck with me when I cook other things as well. Thanks a lot!
It's that time again Gianni!. Every year I grow my own Aubergine and make this recipe. I have a serious allergy to eggs so I use cornflour. I had a bumper crop last year so I branched out and tried some of the other recipes on You Tube.....NO......This is the one and only...I look forward to it every year. I am a Welsh foodie stranded in South Dakota, USA and there are no eggplants (Aubergine) at our supermarket so this is extra special for me. I love making it, eating it, sharing it. Thank You. Candy. p.s. I also grow my own Basil, Parsley, Oregano and Garlic. Meatless dishes are truly spectacular when you use the best ingredients you can grow or find.
Such a lovely video. I am Indian living in NY but inside I feel so Italian lol I’m telling ya. I harvested tomatoes from my garden and made my own tomato sauce couple months ago. Now your video is just right to use those late fall harvest of eggplants. Thanks for sharing.
Gianni thank you for the wonderful recipes and taking me back to North Beach where my family is from. You've probably crossed paths with them over the years, the Caruso's, the DeMartini's and the Belli's. Every time I start one of your videos and see St. Peter and Paul's Church it warms my heart! By the way my new favorite pizza is the pear with gorgonzola and prosciutto. Yum Yum!!
this is a terrific recipe for eggplant parmigiana. i always over sauced, over cheesed and over breaded mine. this recipe makes for a light and delicate dish, something i would have never said about mine! thanks. very good and a keeper.
Hi Gianni, I just wanted to thank you for all your videos, they're really great! I find a lot of things we cook pretty much the same but you have great tips and tricks it seems that really make a big difference, this video in particular I really liked. I made some eggplant without the bread crumbs and now I'll never go back to using them, Thanks!
Ciao Joshua. Thanks for your support. And, welcome to the no breadcrumbs gang. Keep on cooking. BTW do you have family roots in Italia? Buon appetito! --Gianni
Joshua Niccolai Baking the pizza in the oven at the highest possible temperature really makes a difference. I like to put my pizza stone on the upper shelf so it benefits from the heat caught in the top of the oven. Keep on cooking! --Gianni
I am SOOOO excited. Our exchange student from Italy will be eating this on Friday. When I was in Rome the Eggplant was so scrumptious. Now I can perfect eggplant in our kitchen at home. Thank you Gianni!!! (Diego's mother has sent me a recipe but a bit was lost in translation. Your video was very helpful.)

North Beach is my favorite place in SF. Absolutely beautiful!!!
WOW..You can cook for me anytime... I get so hungry watching your videos...
Gianni thank you for the wonderful recipes and taking me back to North Beach where my family is from. You've probably crossed paths with them over the years, the Caruso's, the DeMartini's and the Belli's. Every time I start one of your videos and see St. Peter and Paul's Church it warms my heart! By the way my new favorite pizza is the pear with gorgonzola and prosciutto. Yum Yum!!
I just made this. I added onion and a little more garlic to the sauce. It smells amazing! can't wait to eat it haha!
That just went to the top of my must try recipe list!
great dish...
this is a terrific recipe for eggplant parmigiana. i always over sauced, over cheesed and over breaded mine. this recipe makes for a light and delicate dish, something i would have never said about mine! thanks. very good and a keeper.
Gianni your eggplant recipe is genius
God Bless You..and Mary mother of God... Gianni....Such a good influence !!
Hi Gianni, I just wanted to thank you for all your videos, they're really great! I find a lot of things we cook pretty much the same but you have great tips and tricks it seems that really make a big difference, this video in particular I really liked.

Can't wait to make it tomorrow - thank you for this helpful video!
I am SOOOO excited. Our exchange student from Italy will be eating this on Friday. When I was in Rome the Eggplant was so scrumptious. Now I can perfect eggplant in our kitchen at home. Thank you Gianni!!! (Diego's mother has sent me a recipe but a bit was lost in translation. Your video was very helpful.)
I'm in the middle of making it right now and it already looks and smells delicious..... I'm at my sisters in Kentucky and if you want good Italian food around here.... you have to make it yourself.... !
