Grandma's Eggplant - Made it! (Awesome)

 From:  http://www.whatshecooked.com/2011/08/grandmas-eggplant.html


Ingredients
2 medium eggplant, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
2 eggs
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups breadcrumbs
olive oil

Method
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
1. Beat the eggs in a small shallow bowl then mix in the Parmesan cheese.
2. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
*3. Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with olive oil.
4. Dip each piece of the sliced eggplant into the egg batter.  Place it in the breadcrumbs and coat completely.  Place the eggplant in a single layer on the baking sheet.
5. Once the baking sheet is full, bake in the oven for 20 minutes.  After 20 minutes, flip the eggplant and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.  The eggplant should be golden and a bit crispy.
6. Transfer to a dish lined with paper towel.

Everyone in the family loved this!  I topped it with shredded mozzarella cheese and pasta sauce to turn it into Eggplant Parmesan.  Seriously, this goes into our dinner rotation.
