Introduction

Creating the perfect Eggplant Parmesan on the Arteflame grill brings out the best flavors with a steakhouse quality sear. This method ensures the eggplant slices are tender on the inside with a crispy, golden crust. This recipe will teach you how to achieve restaurant-quality results at home using the reverse searing method.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter (for grilling)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Get the Grill Ready: Start by firing up the Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling.
  2. Prep the Eggplant: Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch rounds. Season with salt and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Coat the Eggplant: Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Sear the Eggplant: Place the eggplant slices on the center grill grate and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until a golden crust forms.
  5. Finish Cooking: Move the seared eggplant to the outer flat cooktop and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender.
  6. Assemble and Melt Cheese: Spread a layer of marinara sauce on each eggplant slice, top with shredded mozzarella cheese, and let it melt on the flat cooktop until bubbly and golden.
  7. Serve: Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh basil, and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the eggplant reaches your desired level of tenderness.
  • Rotate the eggplant on the flat cooktop to utilize different heat zones for even cooking.
  • Let the eggplant rest after grilling to retain its juices.
