This eggplant Parm takes the classic Italian dish and brings it closer to its garden roots. For a fresher take, we skipped the fried breading and grilled the star ingredient for smoky flavor. The melted cheeses are still here, but slabs of juicy fresh tomato stand in for marinara sauce. To complete the theme, torn fresh basil tops it all off.
