Directions: |
Directions:Slice eggplant: Trim the stems from the eggplants and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. This should yield 13 - 16 slices. Flour both sides and set on cookie sheet. Add salt and pepper; Bake in oven at 400º for 15 minutes
Combine the breadcrumbs and 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk in another small bowl. Arrange the bowls assembly line style in this order: egg, breadcrumb mixture.
Turn oven down to 350º
Bread the eggplant: . Dip each eggplant slice completely in egg mixture and then breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the eggplant: Heat the oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat until simmering. Fry the slices 4 or 5 at a time (to avoid crowding the pan) until golden-brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place each batch of cooked eggplant on a plate lined with paper towel.
Layer the casserole: Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce into an 9x13 inch baking dish and spread into an even layer. Place 1/2 of the eggplant slices in an even layer on top of the spaghetti sauce. Put sauce over eggplant to cover. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella. Repeat with eggplant, sauce and mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese
Bake: Bake until the eggplant is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 45 minutes. |
