My daughter’s birthday is coming up. I’d love to make her absolutely favorite dish, Osteria 832′s Eggplant Parmesan. Do you think you could get the recipe so I can surprise her? Thanks. — Joy Hymel, Atlanta

Eggplant Parmesan is definitely Atlanta’s favorite way to enjoy eggplant. It’s one of our most requested restaurant dishes.

This recipe from Osteria 832 bakes the eggplant instead frying the slices. That makes for a lighter version and one that’s easier to prepare. At the restaurant, this recipe makes four very generous portions, but we suggest it’s enough for eight servings.
