Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant parmesan is just one of those deliciously comforting foods that I enjoy making from time to time. It's very similar to lasagna in that it has layers of cheesy goodness, but the crispy, flavorful breading on eggplant slices makes this a recipe all it's own.

Servings 4

Ingredients

4 small eggplant or 2 large, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup flour
2 large eggs beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs
16 oz mozzarella sliced or shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
24 oz pasta sauce
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Next, setup your breading station by putting the flour, eggs, & breadcrumbs into SEPARATE shallow bowls.
Now dip each eggplant slice into the flour, then the eggs, then the breadcrumbs and place onto a lightly greased baking pan. Continue until all the slices are done.
Bake the eggplant slices for 20 minutes. Remove from oven when golden brown & set to side.
For layering, start with the eggplant slices, then pour half of the pasta sauce over them & top with half of the parmesan and half of the mozzarella. Repeat.
Now put your eggplant parmesan into the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese gets nice and gooey.

Notes

Serve alone or with some garlic bread!
