Description

A baked version that is just as tasty!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Eggplant, Peeled And Thinly Sliced
  • 3 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • 3 cups Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
  • 6 cups Spaghetti Sauce, Divided
  • 16 ounces, weight Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded And Divided
  • ½ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated And Divided
  • ½ teaspoons Basil, Dried Or Fresh, to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Optional step: Peel and slice eggplant. Sprinkle with salt and allow time to “sweat,” approximately 30 minutes. Rinse with water and pat dry.

3. Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in bread crumbs. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes on each side.

4. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom. Place a layer of eggplant slices in the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with the cheeses. Sprinkle basil on top.

5. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve with spaghetti noodles.

I love eggplant and this looks like an easy way to make a great meal. I’ll be trying it out.

Made this over the weekend! Loved it! My meat-eating husband loved it as well! Will be making this again; thank you for sharing this recipe. There are two cooking times–20mins the first time for the eggplant alone and 35 minutes the second time for the entire casserole. Worked perfectly!

super yummy but that is NOT a 35 minute cook time. it’s 75 minutes. wish i had look a little more closely before hand and realized that, but oh well. it was still really tasty and really easy for a non-cook like myself.

This was super easy to make and turned out wonderfully! I was hesitant on the cooking times, afraid the eggplant would just be mush, but the 10 minutes per side to start, and 35 minutes to bake with sauce and cheese was perfect for my 1/2″-3/4″ slices. I’ll be making this again and again!

fantastic recipe! I’m one that makes my own spaghetti sauce and when I did, I used diced tomatoes with garlic. The dish turned out even more fantastic than I realized it would!

Try this!!! I made it with a homemade pizza sauce loaded with veggies. I halved the recipe. I am a bit confused on the 3 lbs of eggplant and 6 cups of sauce because i don’t think I used quite 1 and used 18 oz sauce, but it was delicious! Unfortunately my husband forced the name out of me and “didn’t like it” but.. I thought it was great.
