cooking: baked eggplant parm

craig works part time so on his day off we head to the gym and the grocery store

because we are WILD like that!

i found some great eggplant and decided to make a baked version of eggplant parmesean

thickly slice your eggplant and season with salt and pepper

 dredge your slices in egg and then bread crumbs

 place on a greased baking sheet and bake at 350 degree until crumbs are browned

this was about 10 minutes per side

 lightly sauce the bottom of a casserole dish

 layer your crisp and baked eggplant slices in your dish

 layer some parm and mozzarella cheese on top

 add some italian seasoning on top of the cheese for some extra kick

 repeat layers until complete

finish with some fresh basil and bake at 350 for 20 minutes

this gives you enough time to cook and dress some spaghetti as a side 

 

plate together...

 and eat together!

 surprisingly the kids loved this

kyler asked me to make this again for dinner the next night... thank goodness for left overs!
