Eggplant:

• Select three FAT eggplants.
• Peel the eggplants with a vegetable peeler.
• Slice the eggplant very thin - 1/4" with an electric slicer.
• Sprinkle a small amount of salt on one side of the eggplant.
• Place slices on top of one another in a large colander.
• Weigh down the eggplants, to aid the water draining process.
• (We placed a dinner plate on top of the eggplants in the colander and placed a jug of distilled water on top of the plate).
• Allow 1/2 to 1 hour for the eggplant to drain.
• Liquid will drain from the colander during this process.
• Remove the eggplant and place the pieces on a paper towel.
• Pat each slice dry.

Egg Mixture:

• 8 eggs, break the yolks and blend together.
• 2 teasp Granulated garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Parsley Flakes
• 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
• Small dab of milk
• Mix everything together.

Breading Mixture:

• 20 oz. Container of Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs
• 8 to 10 oz. Container of Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1/2 cup of dried Parsley Flakes
• Approximately 1 - 1 1/2 tbsp of Granulated Garlic Powder
• Stir to mix.   You should be able to smell the cheese and garlic in the mixture.   If not add more!

Place several eggplant slices into egg mixture.

Remove and coat with a thin coating of the breading mixture.

Repeat this process until all of the eggplants have been breaded.

Fry breaded eggplant in an electric skillet at 300-325 degrees.

Use 1/2 Wesson oil and 1/2 Olive oil.   Cook until golden brown.

Change oil when it becomes foamy.   Drain eggplant on paper towels.

Layer eggplant parmigiana as follows:

• VERY Thin layer of tomato sauce.
• 1 layer of Eggplant
• Grated mozzarella cheese
• Repeat.

Note: Three layers maximum!

Bake at 325 degrees until cheese melts, approximately 15 -20 minutes.   Heaven awaits!

Can be served with some Pasta OR as the main course.   Fettuccine Alfredo is wonderful with this dish.
