Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 (2 1/4 pounds) eggplant (globe eggplant, peeled and sliced into 3/4-inch rounds)
  • 1 large egg (beaten with 1/4 cup water)
  • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce (or as you need)
  • 1 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese (or as you need)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
