Directions:

3. Cover the bottom of large skillet with a thin layer of olive oil.
4. Dip sliced eggplant into beaten egg and then dredge with italian bread crumbs.
5. Fry slices of eggplant in small batches until golden brown on both sides, place on paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
6. Cover bottom of the casserole dish with fried eggplant slices.
7. Put approximately 2 ladle full scoops of the homemade tomato sauce and spread thoroughly, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese until lightly covered.
8. Continue in this order making no more than 3 layers, on the last layer put a generous amount of both sauce and mozzarella cheese.
9. Stick 3 toothpicks evenly along each side of the dish and cover with tinfoil, the toothpicks will act like a tent so the tinfoil will not touch the cheese.
10. Bake in a 350º oven for 1/2 and hour take out and let set 10-15 minutes, cut and eat.
