Baked Eggplant

Last night's dinner was this delicious dish - Baked Eggplant




Here is the recipe if you are interested in making it.


Ingredients:

* 1 medium eggplant
* flour, egg, Italian flavored bread crumbs (for the breading process)
* pasta sauce
*mozzarella cheese
*grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees


Step 1:  First the breading process
After cutting the eggplant in thin slices dip the slices first in the flour, then the egg and finally the bread crumbs.

Step 2:  Cooking the eggplant
You can cook the breaded eggplant either by baking them on a baking sheet in the oven or you can fry them.  I've done them both ways and my family and I like them either way.

Step 3:  Assembling the Baked Eggplant 
First drizzle some pasta sauce on the bottom of a glass baking dish.  Then put a layer of the breaded eggplant.  Put a layer of pasta sauce on top of the eggplant slices.  Sprinkle with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Then repeat with more eggplant slices, then pasta sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese.  Repeat until you have used up all the eggplant slices. On the last layer sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 4:  Baking it
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.

Enjoy!
