This recipe has been on my mind for some time. Eggplant Parmesan is rumored to be a 40-week pregnant lady’s best friend, and I personally know some genuine “eggplant babies!” (Babies who were born 48 hours after mom ate this dish). There’s a famed restaurant in Atlanta that even has a baby book an expectant mother can sign to receive a gift certificate and eggplant baby onesie if the dish works to help deliver her baby. I personally went to that same restaurant when I was pregnant with both Red and Scarlett. With Red, I wasn’t “pregnant enough” to have it “work,” but I experienced 4 hours of contractions after eating it with Scarlett. Sadly, she didn’t end up being an “eggplant baby.”
Regardless of the urban legend that this recipe induces labor, it’s absolutely delicious. I’ve adapted the restaurant recipe to a home chef’s ability and scaled down the entire-dining-room portions to something your family can share. If you are 39-40 weeks pregnant and are looking for a home-cooked eggplant parmesan, look no further. Keep in mind that’ I’m not a doctor, and while the urban legend states this recipe will induce labor, it’s all fun and games and something to enjoy. It’s not a medical fact!! This adapted eggplant parmesan recipe is very easy to make, just a little time-consuming. I made sure to prep it one afternoon while Red was playing, and then just 25 minutes before dinner, popped it in the oven. Voila! A piping hot dinner done during witching hour…
