Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place the eggplant in a single layer on a kitchen towel. Generously sprinkle salt on top and place another towel on top. Allow to sit for 30 min (this pulls out excess liquid as well as the bitterness).
Step 2
Using a damp paper towel pat the eggplant slices to remove the excess salt.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 450. Mix together breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
Step 4
Place eggplant in egg-water wash, then coat in breadcrumb mixture. Place on cookie sheet generously coated with cooking spray.
Step 5
Bake 8 minutes. Remove from oven and turn each slice over (the crispy side facing up).
Step 6
Drizzle the pasta sauce over each slice (it's not necessary to completely cover completely). Top each slice with some mozzarella cheese.
Step 7
Return to over and finish baking for another 8-10 minutes.
