Eggplant Parmesan

1. Wash and dry your eggplant. Cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds.

2. Dredge each eggplant slice in egg and then breadcrumbs. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet.

3. Bake eggplant slices in the oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes on each side. Remove and layer eggplant, sauce, and cheeses in a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish ending with a layer of cheeses on top. Bake in the the oven for about 35 minutes to an hour depending on how many layers of eggplant is in the dish. Fuller dishes will take an hour to cook. The eggplant should come out soft enough to cut with a fork.
