Delicious, Easy, Restaurant-Quality Eggplant

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium eggplant
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 34 cup fresh parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (I use Garli Garni!)
• 12 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I use lots more)
• 4 tomatoes, sliced (slice as many as needed to cover your eggplant slices)
• 14 cup Italian salad dressing (I only like Ken's Steak House Lite Northern Italian with Basil & Romano on this one)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Grease a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
3. Peel the eggplant.
4. Slice the eggplant into round slices, each 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
5. Slice the tomatoes and drizzle the dressing over all of them so nicely coated.
6. You may need more dressing depending on how much tomato and eggplant you make.
7. I probably use closer to 1/2 cup for mine.
8. Set aside.
9. In a small bowl, whip together the egg and water.
10. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate small bowl and combine with parmesan cheese, garlic powder and crushed red peppers.
11. Dip the eggplant slices one at a time into the egg and water mixture, then into the breadcrumbs.
12. One by one, place the coated slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
13. Bake the eggplant for about 12 minutes on the first side.
14. Using a spatula, flip the eggplant over and top the slices with the tomato's covered in dressing.
15. Sprinkle a bit more parmesan cheese if you like.
16. Bake the eggplant on the 2nd side for 10-12 more minutes or until desired doneness.
