Place the eggplants in a bowl with water and coarse salt to de-bitter. Let them rest for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside. For the sauce, blend the tomato with the onion, garlic, cream, and Parmesan cheese. In a pot over medium heat, melt the butter and pour in the sauce, season with salt, pepper, and fresh basil, and cook for 10 minutes until it has a smooth consistency. Set aside. On a cutting board, place a slice of eggplant, cover it with a slice of cheese, and then place another slice of eggplant on top. Repeat until all are finished. Bread the eggplant sandwiches by dipping them in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. You can double bread them if desired. Heat the oil over medium heat and fry the eggplants, draining them on paper towels to remove excess fat. Serve accompanied by the sauce, decorated with more cheese and fresh basil.
