Ingredients

1 eggplant

2 eggs, beaten

bread crumbs for breading

homemade or store bought tomato sauce about 1 pint

Olive oil to thinly coat bottom and sides of baking dish

Sliced mozzarella

Grated Parmigiana

Preparation

Thinly slice the eggplant, storing slices in a deep bowl of ice water until ready to bread. I slice it on a diagonal for this recipe, straight for simple dipping. Double bread and deep fry in 1/2 inch of oil on medium heat and drain.

Layer prepared glass baking dish/pan with tomato sauce, breaded and fried eggplant, sliced mozzarella and grated parmigiana.

Bake at 375°F until the top is browned (or at least melted).
