Baked Eggplant Parmesan
- 1 whole Eggplant
- Kosher Salt
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
- 3 cups Italian Bread Crumbs
- 1 jar Your Favorite Spaghetti Sauce (larger Sized Jar)
- 1 package 16 Oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Peel and thinly slice the eggplant (1/4 inch).
- Cover slices with kosher salt and let sit in a colander for 20-30 minutes to sweat the eggplant.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- After sweating, rinse the slices and pat dry.
- Dip the eggplant slices in the egg, then in the bread crumbs.
- Place on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray or lined with foil.
- Place the cookie sheet into the oven for 8-10 minutes, then flip the eggplant slices and cook for another 8-10 minutes.
- Spread enough spaghetti sauce into a casserole dish to cover the bottom.
- Place a layer of eggplant slices in the dish, sprinkle with cheese, and then some spaghetti sauce.
- Continue layering with the rest of the ingredients, ending with cheese on top.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
- I usually serve this with a side of spaghetti!
- It makes enough for friends, but I cook for two and we always have plenty leftover for lunch, and it reheats very well!
