Eggplant Lasagna help and questions.

My DD wants to make this recipe and freeze some for a later use:

My question is - can this be frozen - will it become watery or eggplant turn soggy? Should the eggplant be salt purged first? I cant find anything on the internet. Have any of you done this before? TIA

I don't know but I buy frozen eggplant parm from TJ's all the time and it is good, a little softer t

than when it's freshly made at home but good nevertheless.

I think it will freeze pretty well

I make eggplant parm and freeze it. I wouldn't say that it becomes watery but it's like typical eggplant - even in the version not cooked, it will be 'soggy'.

And yes, I always salt purge the eggplant first for everything. It just makes for a better finished product in my opinion.

One other thing - I fix a lot of eggplant at a time. I fry it or roast it and then freeze it with waxed paper in between. Then I can throw together something like this quickly. So make the components and freeze them then you can just do it fresh each time. Works great!

good tip! that would speed up the process as the eggplant takes longest to handle
