My mom made this for my birthday one year! The Tripodis use to have a deli near University Mall and have had a very successful catering business for many many years!1 medium Eggplant
Peel, Slice, Eggplant (you can salt and leave on paper towels to remove some of the bitterness)
2 eggs/2T water/beat together
flour
"Progresso" Italian Bread Crumbs (or Panko)
Dip dry Eggplant in flour, pat in, dip in egg mixture
Press (coat) in breadcrumbs
Brown in olive oil, drain on paper towels
Place Eggplant in "greased" casserole with grated fresh parmesan, romano, mozzarella cheese
Bring your favorite spaghetti sauce to a boil, this recipe specifically calls for Ragu chunky mushroom sauce, and adding 2T oregano, 2T Basil, 1tsp garlic powder. But you could also let your imagination run wild here with unlimited saucy options!
Pour sauce over Eggplant & Cheese and top with Bread Crumbs and extra Parmesan!
Bake 30 minutes @350 degrees
Taste even better the next day!
