Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Sprinkle the eggplant slices with a little salt on each side. Place onto a baking sheet, and set aside for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, blot with paper towels to remove the moisture that has accumulated. Meanwhile, beat the eggs and milk together in a mixing bowl; set aside. Mix the Parmesan cheese and wheat germ until evenly combined; set aside.
- Dip the dried eggplant slices into the egg, allow excess egg to drip off, then press into the Parmesan cheese mixture until coated on both sides. Gently shake off any excess Parmesan cheese, and place the eggplant slices onto a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. While the eggplant slices are baking, cook and stir the tomato sauce and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. When the eggplant is done, pour the sauce over top, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese to serve.

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.

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...

This was very good. The wheat germ was a nice coating. I also made it into a casserole dish and served over spaghetti.

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 - ...

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.
