By Mary John ReschThis is one of the best eggplant dishes that I have tried. It is very easy to prepare and is delicious. If you had leftovers and used a larger eggplant, I think you could layer a slice of eggplant, a slice of tomato and a slice of mozzarella cheese and serve is as on open-faced sandwich for a light lunch.
BAKED CHEESE-COATED EGGPLANT(Serves 4)
1 medium eggplant or 2 small ones 3 tablespoons butter, melted ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese ¼ cup seasoned dry breadcrumbs ½ teaspoon salt or to taste ¼ teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Cut eggplant in 1/2–inch slices and soak in cold salted water for 30 minutes. Drain and dry. Combine Parmesan, crumbs, and seasonings. Dip eggplant slices in melted butter, then in crumbs, and place in a single layer in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
