Eggplant

The other night we tried something new. While grocery shopping they had a ton of huge good looking eggplants so we decided to make eggplant parmesan.


What you need:
1 Eggplant
Panko (or Italian bread crumbs)
Parmesan cheese
1 egg
Italian seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic salt, oregano, dried basil…)
Oil
Marinara sauce

Mozzarella cheese

Cook:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Once the oven is heated put the baking sheet in to warm up for five mins. Beat the egg in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Put the panko or the bread crumbs in another bowl. Season the panko with dried herbs, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Slice the eggplant in half inch circles. After the pan is heated pour a little olive oil on there. Dip the eggplant slices in the egg and then the panko and put on the baking sheet.  Put in oven and bake for 15 mins. After that, flip them over and bake again for 15 mins. Once that’s done grab a 9 x 13 dish pour marinara sauce on the bottom then overlap the eggplant slices, pour a little bit more sauce on top, add mozzarella cheese on top and bake for the last 15 mins. Take out and enjoy!
