Our friend, Johnetta, recently gave us an eggplant, so I surfed the net looking for something appetizing to cook with it. I ran across Martha Stewart’s Baked Parmesan Recipe. Yum. We modified it slightly and LOVED it! Even my husband. 
I am sharing how we made it – click the link if you would like to make it by Martha Stewart’s recipe.
Ingredients For Eggplant Parmesan
Pam Cooking Spray
2 medium eggs
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large eggplant (peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
6 cups (48 ounces) store-bought chunky tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
How To Make Eggplant Parmesan
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with Pam Cooking Spray and set aside. Whisk together both eggs and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl. Like my neon green bowl? 
In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup Parmesan, oregano, and basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Dip eggplant slices in egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then cover thoroughly in breadcrumb mixture and place on baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown on bottom, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the eggplant slices over and continue baking until browned on other side, 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove from oven. Turn the oven heat up to 400 degrees.
Spread 2 cups sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange half the eggplant in dish; cover with 2 cups sauce, then 1/2 cup mozzarella. Repeat with remaining eggplant, sauce, and mozzarella and then sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and breadcrumbs. Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

I love to make eggplant parmesan. I’ve never tried baking it instead of frying, though!

This looks yummy and my family love eggplant parmesan. Will have to try this.
I’ve never liked eggplant. I do like cheese and sauce. I’m going to give this recipe a try. It looks pretty good.

I hope you like it. The first time I ever had Eggplant Parmesan, I really had no idea it was eggplant, lol.

I love eggplant pamesan and this one has alot of mozzarella in it. Thanks for the recipe
This recipe looks very tasty. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds good. I think my only change would be to use a different spaghetti sauce rather than ragu.

Yeah we like to switch it up, too, depending on our mood.

I made this yesterday for dinner! This was my first time to cook eggplant and it was fantastic! Thank you! I did use a jar of sauce but jazzed it up like I usually do for spaghetti–otherwise, I followed your directions exactly. This will become one of our regular meals.

Yay! I am glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing how you changed it, too. I love doing recipes a little differently sometimes. Variety is the spice of life.
