kohala, Here's a great recipe for eggplant parmesan.

Eggplant Paremsan


1 1 medium eggplant sliced
1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons milk
Dried Italian bread crumbs
Olive oil
6 ounces tomato paste
6 ounces white or red wine
Pinch dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1/2 pound mozzarella, sliced
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice washed eggplant 1/2-inch thick. Dip slices into the egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs, coat well. Grease a cookie sheet with olive oil. Arrange each slice of coated eggplant in one layer on the cookie sheet and drizzle each piece with olive oil. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. Check that the slices are golden brown, turn then and bake for another 15 minutes. They should be browned on both sides. Set aside.
In a small saucepan dilute the tomato paste with wine. A good mix is a can of paste and a can of wine. Add the oregano, salt, pepper, and crushed garlic. In a baking dish arrange browned eggplant slices in 1 layer. Spread 2 tablespoons of sauce on each slice. Layer each eggplant with a slice of mozzarella and sauce until all is used. Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for about 20 minutes. Serve hot.

Cook Time: 50 minutes
Koahla- pretty much the same, but, even easier, but maybe less healthy:

Skin the eggplant, slice less than 1/4 inch, dip in milk, italian crumbs, fry in light oil.

Then, use STORE bought Italian tomatoe sauce (the spices are already in there ). Layer as follows....light application of sauce in casserole dish, eggplant, shredded mozz cheese, light sauce, eggplant, shreaded parm cheese, eggplant, mozz cheese, sauce, etc...depending on how deep your casserole dish is. Then back 350 for min 30 minutes. About 10 minutes until done...add last layer of cheese- whichever one you didn't last use..nice double negative, huh?

Be careful that you allow enough room for the bubble over effect. Since EP is mostly water, and then the sauce you add, it always wants to go over the top. Maybe a pie sheet under neath?

Good luck, and happy eating! Use that Texas Toast and things will be mighty tasty. When are we eating???
