Mozzarella Fritta Stacked Eggplant Parm:
BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella, a low moisture cheese especially created for baking, takes center stage in this classic eggplant parm reimagined by César Pérez and Sofia Krans of BelGioioso. We give this cheese the star treatment by breading and frying the mozzarella slices to golden perfection, then stacking them high with slices of juicy tomato, grilled eggplant, and a bright, garlicky vinaigrette to tie it all together. Make just enough for yourself or easily double or triple the recipe for a delicious dinner with friends.
This recipe is presented in partnership with BelGioioso (https://www.belgioioso.com/).

I really loved this video and the warm energy of Sofia and Cesar. Great to know about the baking mozzarella – will definitely give that a try.
Love the simplicity of this recipe. César Pérez has a great vibe as a chef.
Hmm idk if it’s my TV’s audio but it was hard to hear Cesar, a bit muffled, but could hear Sofia just fine
I just bought a chunk of that cheese at my local BJs this afternoon. Very cool to see the family behind it.
Love an enthusiastic curd nerd, love eggplant parm ❤
She is s great representative for her brand. Didnt feel like a forced brand collab at all.
Can’t wait to make this!
