Dip the sliced eggplant into the beaten eggs to coat. Transfer the egg-covered eggplant to a dish with the bread crumbs. Cover the eggplant completely and set aside. In this manner, bread all of the eggplant slices.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan and fry the breaded eggplant until browned on both sides. Set aside to drain once done.
Spread a thin layer of sauce in a baking dish. Layer with the eggplant, parmesan cheese, mozzarella, and then more sauce. Continue to use up all of the eggplant.
Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
This is a good recipe. I changed it up a little to make it more of an eggplant rollatini recipe. After adding the eggplant to the pan, I added Ricotta Cheese and then the Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses. I used about a cup of Ricotta cheese. It was yummy!
I'm not a huge fan of eggplant either but I had some eggplant parmigiana at an Italian restaurant and thought it was pretty good. I tried this recipe and it was pretty close to the one I had at the restaurant. If I have to have eggplant, I guess I'll have it this way.
