Quick Eggplant Parmesan

SUBMITTED BY: Jessie PHOTO BY: feedinanarmy

"This eggplant goes well with some steamed green beans and French or Italian bread. Although the recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs, you can use regular bread crumbs if you wish. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste."

My daughter & I love eggplant parmesan. We wanted a quick, easy way to make this dish just for the two of us. We were both very pleased with the outcome of this recipe. I peeled and cut the eggplant thinner that it called for. I then fried the eggplant and put it in the oven set at 200 degrees with it topped with cheese to melt while I made spaghetti. Delicious dinner!

Excellent use of eggplant! I can't imagine an easier or quicker way to make a tasty, healthy dinner. I left the peppers out of the sauce and added garlic salt to the bread crumbs. Eggplant was not soggy at all - it was soft inside and crispy outside. Will definitely add this to my recipe box!

Fabulous recipe. After I cooked the eggplant I put them in a baking dish, sprinkled with mozzarella, parmesan and spooned jarred sauce and place the tray in the oven until the cheese melted. Easy and very good.
