Ingredients

2 medium sized eggplant, about 1 pound each.

1/4 cup Parmesan-Reggiano cheese

1/2 cup fine dry Italian seasoned bread crumbs

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

2 eggs

1/4-1/2 cup all-purpose flour (APF)

4 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Peel eggplant. (Some people I know prefer the eggplant with the skin on, so if you're one of those people, you can skip this step.)

Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. (You don't need a ruler, you just don't want them too big.)

In a pie pan, combine cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, salt and pepper.

In another pan, beat eggs lightly.

Dust each eggplant slice with flour.

Dip into eaten egg, coating on both sides.

Dredge in crumb mixture, shaking off excess.

Pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter into each of two 10x15 inch rimmed baking dishes.

Tilt butter in pans to coat evenly.

Arrange eggplant slices into a single layer in the pans.

Bake, uncovered, in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes, turning once, or until browned on both sides.

Serve as main meal or as a side to pasta.
