Preparation

Salt eggplant slices on both sides and lay them on a paper towel–lined tray. Let sit for 20–30 minutes to draw out moisture and bitterness. Pat dry.

In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another, combine crushed pork rinds (1¼ cups), garlic powder (½ tsp), and Italian seasoning (½ tsp).

Dip each eggplant slice into the egg, then coat in pork rind mixture, pressing to adhere.

Heat butter or tallow (1½ Tbsp) in a skillet over medium heat. Fry eggplant slices in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Set aside on paper towels.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a greased 8x8 baking dish, layer fried eggplant, marinara sauce (1 cup), mozzarella (1 cup), and Parmesan (¼ cup), repeating layers as needed.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Broil for an additional 2–3 minutes to brown the top.

Garnish with chopped basil or parsley and a drizzle of olive oil (1 tsp) if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.
