Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal or chicken cutlets
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 small (sliced thinly) Eggplant
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Dry white wine
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 4 slices Prosciutto
• 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
• 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Season the veal or chicken cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Dredge the cutlets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the cutlets for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the slices of eggplant. Sauté for 2-3 minutes per side until tender and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup of dry white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the seared cutlets on top of the sauce in a single layer.

Step 7

Layer each cutlet with a slice of sautéed eggplant, followed by a slice of prosciutto, and then a slice of mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the layered cutlets, ensuring everything is covered evenly.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 10

Uncover the dish and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Garnish each piece with a fresh basil leaf and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with your favorite pasta or a side salad for a complete meal.
