This is a childhood favorite mom would make and is called Baked Eggplant Sinatra Florentine.
Making favorite foods of famous actors like Frank Sinatra was always a favorite hobby and challenge to mom and she would rush right into the kitchen to adapt it her own.
I can't remember what newspaper mom found this recipe in the '70s but it remains a family favorite so thanks, Frank Sinatra.
This sure is an oldie but really flavorful just bursting with melted cheesy eggplant topped with a fresh tomato sauce. I just love the flavors of each forkful.
Not sure the famous singer ever really loved this dish as the article but mom certainly loved it and we cherished the recipe she adapted with her own sauce and method of making eggplant.
This easy yet gourmet-style baked eggplant will certainly put a smile on any eggplant lover's face with approval.
Never seen this on a menu personally I had a reader send me an email stating she worked as a waitress in the famous Fontainebleau in Miami back in the 1960s and this was a popular menu item Sinatra often ordered when he ate there.
