The exact origins of Parmigiana are debated, with both Sicily and Campania claiming its invention. Its roots likely lie in the Arab influence on Sicilian cuisine, which introduced eggplant. The dish evolved over time, incorporating techniques from both regions, including the use of cheese and tomato sauce.

Parmigiana is a celebration of simple, yet robust Mediterranean flavors. The combination of fried ingredients, rich tomato sauce, and creamy cheese creates a comforting and satisfying dish.
The core flavors are defined by: the sweetness and slight bitterness of eggplant (or the savory character of meat/chicken); the acidity and umami of the tomato sauce, often flavored with garlic and herbs like basil or oregano; the richness and saltiness of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese; and the textural contrast between the soft interior and slightly crispy exterior.

Eggplant Preparation
To prevent the eggplant from becoming soggy, salt it generously and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat it dry before frying.
Sauce Quality
Use high-quality canned or fresh tomatoes for the sauce. Simmer the sauce for at least an hour to develop a rich and complex flavor.
Layering Technique
Layer the ingredients carefully to ensure even distribution of flavors and textures. Start with a layer of sauce on the bottom of the dish, followed by eggplant (or meat/chicken), cheese, and more sauce. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Cheese Selection
Using a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese creates a balance of flavors and textures. Fresh mozzarella melts beautifully, while Parmesan adds a salty, umami depth.
Resting Time
Let the Parmigiana rest for at least 15-20 minutes after baking before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dish to set properly.
