Silvia Colloca Instagram – Think eggplant parmigiana, but a lot easier and phenomenal in flavour!
Hassleback Eggplant Parmigiana
From my new show @silviasitalianmasterclass
Ingredients
2 large aubergines
600 ml of passata
200g @floridiacheese casalingo -or your melty cheese of choice) sliced into 1 pieces
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
¼ cup (60ml) of extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper for seasoning
fresh basil, leaves picked to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C. Cut lengthways slits into the aubergines about 1cm apart, leaving the stalk attached and taking care not to cut right down to the bottom OR Pre heat your @oonihq pizza oven to 250C

Arrange the fanned eggplant into a large roasting tin or ovenproof dish and season. Drizzle with half of the oil and bake for 20 minutes in a traditional oven, and 15 minutes in a pizza oven.
Take the tray out of the oven, place mozzarella in between eggplant slices, cover with passata, season to your liking, top with breadcrumbs and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until melty and golden brown. This will only take 5-6 in a pizza oven.
Serve with bread and basil leaves.
