I love this recipe because its healthy and I had most of the ingredients. I made a few changes though. I oiled the pan with olive oil which I was glad about because the slices were a little sticky to pan. I simply sliced the eggplant dipped them in egg then parmesan cheese and seasoned with garlic. Then baked til golden brown then topped with sauce and more parmesan cheese. I love this simple recipe. The meal was sooo yummy. Ill definitely use this recipe again. Thank you so much.
EastNashMommy here! So happy that people like this recipe. I wanted to let you know that when I made it last night I used a few of the baked eggplant rounds to create mini "pizzas." Spread just a little sauce on top and then added the cheese. My kids ate them with their hands - just like little pizzas. 7-year-old and 2-year-old loved it!
Yum! I used Italian seasoned Panko bread crumbs instead of the wheat germ. Delish.
This was really a hit...DH who prefers a meal with meat even said it was good enough as a main dish! I have been making eggplant parmesan for years and love it but it is a lot of work and time consuming. This was just as good and so much quicker & easier to prepare! Loved the crispy coating and the spicy sauce! I did cover my baking pan with tin foil and sprayed w/ olive oil to prevent sticking. Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe....will be making this a lot!!!
I followed the steps for the eggplant slices baked the eggplant for 5 minutes on each side and then layered the ingredients in a pan. I baked for 35 minutes. It was delicious! My husband thought the eggplant was fried and complimented me on such a nice job. My 22 month old twins even ate it - minus the cayenne pepper of course.
This was very good. The wheat germ was a nice coating. I also made it into a casserole dish and served over spaghetti.
PERFECTION.....this was delicious....i am always looking for healthy recipes...actually new to cooking eggplant and this is a GRAND SLAM A Didn't make any modifications.
I've never tried making anything like Eggplant Parm. before but liked that this was baked not fried and came out great. I think I used a mix of wheat germ and ground flax seed as the breading - it gave the dish a slightly nutty taste which I liked - kudos - good and healthy recipe!
I thought this was pretty good & super easy. I will make again. It doesn't really compare with fried eggplant parm but it's a great alternative for a lighter meal.
This was a bit bland. I tried to revive it by pouring the sauce over the eggplant and melting the cheese in the broiler. Served over angel hair.
