Step 1 of 12

Preheat oven to 350°

Step 2 of 12

Be sure to round up all your ingredients.

Step 3 of 12

Wash eggplants for good measure, and slice into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Some folks like to wash the slices and give them a salt bath sweat to try and take out the bitterness. I leave that to you.

Step 4 of 12

Dip eggplant slices in egg, then bread crumbs.

Step 5 of 12

Set aside each breading to prepare for oven baking.

Step 6 of 12

Place olive oil on baking sheet to prevent sticking and to add flavor ! Place single layers of breaded eggplant slices on to baking sheet, a bit of overlap is fine.

Step 7 of 12

Bake for about 20-30 minutes or till a nice golden brownish color (as pictured)

Step 8 of 12

This the fun part! Start layering!! Eggplant, mozzarella , sauce, Parmesan and repeat till you run out of ingredient layers, I like ending with lots of cheese and sauce for baking!

Step 9 of 12

Keep those layers going :)

Step 10 of 12

Mozzarella doesn't have to be perfectly grated I like to just rough-cut knife slices and chunks!

Step 11 of 12

Bake at 350° in a preheated oven for 35 min. or until golden brown, give it a moment to cool before serving and Bon apetito! 😊

Step 12 of 12

Garnished with a bit of parsley here! So delicious...

3 Large eggplants, sliced 1/2 inch rounds

2 Eggs, Beaten

4 Cups Italian bread crumbs

6 Cups Spaghetti sauce

1 16 ounce pkg of mozzarella, shredded and divided

½ Teaspoons Basil

It was quite delicious, I only wish I would have cooked the eggplant longer in step 7, or just lightly pan fry in olive oil like I usually do. Other than that, mmmmmm...

@virgie -- yes exactly! i was given another recipe that required frying each eggplant slice in Olive Oil -- and Olive Oil is just not cheap!!! So I needed to find an alternative recipe that was healthy as well as budget friendly too!!!

How wonderful Norma!!! I appreciate that so much!!!!

That's one of my favorite dish and I like that you bake the eggplants instead frying them a lot healthier. Thanks for the tip!
