Michael Angelo's Eggplant Parmigiana
What it is
This is a frozen meal featuring layers of breaded eggplant, marinara sauce, and cheese. It is designed for convenient preparation in a home oven. The eggplant is typically fried or baked before being assembled with the other components. The dish is then frozen to preserve its freshness and flavor until ready to be cooked.
How people cook with it
This frozen eggplant parmigiana is a straightforward option for a weeknight dinner or a simple lunch. It offers a classic Italian-American comfort food experience without the need for extensive preparation.
- Quick weeknight dinner
- Simple lunch option
- Side dish for Italian meals

To prepare, remove the plastic film from the tray. Place the frozen eggplant parmigiana in a preheated oven. The cooking time and temperature will vary depending on your oven, but it typically involves baking until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Allow it to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to homemade eggplant parmigiana, this frozen version offers significant time savings. It also differs from other frozen Italian entrees by focusing specifically on the layered eggplant and cheese preparation, rather than a pasta-based dish. The breading on the eggplant may also have a different texture than homemade.
Who it is for
