Eggplant or Zucchini Parmesan
- 2 whole Eggplant And/or Zucchini, Unpeeled
- 4 slices Whole Grain Bread
- 13 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 whole Large Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Water
- 1 clove Garlic
- 8 ounces, weight Grated Mozzarella Cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 jar Favorite Prepared Spaghetti Sauce- I Used Newman's
- 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning Blend
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut ends off of eggplant or zucchini and cut into 1/4 inch-thick slices.
- Process the bread slices in a food processor to make about 1 1/2 cups of breadcrumbs.
- Mix together bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Set aside.
- Beat together egg and water.
- Grate the garlic finely, then add to the shredded mozzarella.
- Dip the eggplant or zucchini slices in the egg mixture and then dredge in the crumbs to coat.
- Heat half of olive oil at low-medium heat in a 10-inch skillet.
- Place slices in hot oil in skillet, turning once until golden brown, just a few minutes.
- Add more oil to skillet as needed to keep the slices from sticking.
- Place in a 9x11 casserole dish in rows.
- Top each slice with 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of spaghetti sauce, a bit of the mozzarella cheese mixture, and a sprinkling of Italian seasoning.
- Repeat with the rest of the slices of eggplant and/or zucchini, in layers.
- Top with any remaining cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes uncovered, or until bubbly and cheese is just beginning to be golden-coloured.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy immensely!
