Eggplant Parmesan




This was the first time I have cooked eggplant and it came out amazing. For the main dish of dinner it was so filling, meat was surprisingly not missed.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3/4 eggs, beaten
  • 1-1/2 cups and 2 tablespoons Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2-1/3 cups and 1 tablespoon spaghetti sauce, divided
  • 3/8 (16 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
  • 3 tablespoons and 1/2 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese, divide
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F 
  2. Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in bread crumbs. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes on each side.
  3. In a 9x13 inch baking dish spread spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom. Place a layer of eggplant slices in the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with the cheeses. Sprinkle basil on top.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.
