Eggplant Parm & Pesto Sliders

Not to toot my own horn here y'all, but these sliders were probably one of my favourite recipes of 2024. Every aspect of them was perfection and I'm so excited to share them with y'all.

I made a super spicy, blended tomato sauce to start and whipped up a perfectly gorgeous, green pesto. The pesto recipe I shared will be the permanent one so make sure to save it. I've tested it multiple times and it's just perfect.

I breaded and fried up some Chinese eggplant slices until golden and crisp. Chinese eggplant is smaller, thinner, and less bitter, so it doesn't require being salted and drained the way regular eggplant does.  I assembled the sliders in a cute baking dish with sauce, eggplant, mozz, eggplant, pesto, and brushed the tops with a seasoned oil.

Once baked, they're beautifully golden brown and the tops of the buns are ncie and crisp. When you pull them apart, you get the most magical cheese pull you guys <3 I served them up with additional sauce for dunking and that's that. Absolute perfection. Now get on over to the RECIPES page and make these ASAP.
