Egg-plants In The Oven Recipe

(Melanzane al forno)

Skin five or six egg-plants, cut them in round slices and salt them so

that they throw out the water that they contain. After a few hours dip

in flour and frying oil.

Take a fireproof vase or baking tin and place the slices in layers, with

grated cheese between each layer, abundantly seasoned with tomato sauce

(No. 12).

Beat one egg with a pinch of salt, a tablespoonful of tomato sauce, a

teaspoonful of grated cheese and two of crumbs of bread, and cover the

upper layer with this sauce. Put the vase in the oven and when the egg

is coagulated, serve hot.
