To prepare, simply remove the plastic film from the top of the container. Place the tray on a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Bake for the recommended time until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is fully melted and lightly browned. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving. This ensures the flavors meld and the dish is heated through evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional layered eggplant parmesan, these towers offer pre-portioned servings, making them quicker to cook and serve. The breading on the eggplant provides a slight crispness that contrasts with the soft interior and the smooth sauce.

How to keep the rest
Keep any unused, unopened towers refrigerated. Once opened or heated, consume immediately. For best quality, do not refreeze. Store in the original packaging until ready to cook.
