Eggplant parmesan is a favourite of mine! I ate it so much I got sick of it!
Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl
Cut egg plant
Dip slices in egg then crumbs
Layer eggplant in baking dish
Between each layer add pasta sauce
And bake
If I remember it correctly
I will try to get more details0 -

This is my fave topping on bread/ homemade pizza or eaten as a dip or mixed with pasta etc.
1-2 medium eggplants, 1 green pepper, 1 onion, lite olive oil ( or regular if u like), hunts tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder.
Peel n slice eggplant ( short) sprinkle w kosher salt and let it sweat on paper towels for 20-30 min
Slice n dice onion. Add to large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil. Sauté w green pepper. Cube eggplant and add. If it seems dry add another tbsp of oil. Add spices to pan and stir till soft add can of sauce and stir. When eggplant is soft it is ready and delicious! ( u might need more than 8 oz of sauce is there is a lot of eggplant ... Any questions pls message me0 -

It's important to "sweat" the eggplant first, by sprinkling salt on it and then rinsing it off after 20 minutes or so. This will take the tartness out and although I used to never do that, a friend of ours made dinner for us one night and did it that way and it was MUCH better. Sounds like we have a similar recipe, I will have to see if I can get his from him.0

I made this "low calorie Mousaka" http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1725,152165-236205,00.html. I brushed my eggplant slices with a bit of olive oil and baked them for a while. It actually turned out to be pretty good.0
