AP, I make eggplant parm a lot and I use almost the same recipe as Janet does. ( Hey Janet, I am 100% Italian also, and have a very italian maiden name )
Maybe we should get together, we are almost neighbors!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, definitley fry it instead of baking....it just doesn't taste the same if its not "full of fat".

Good Luck with it, and make sure to buy some crusty Italian bread to soak up the extra sauce on your plate!!!!!!!!

My favorite, and actually only way Ive ever made eggplant,is to dip thin slices in beaten eggs, and then coat with fine crushed cracker crumbs, then fry in oil. Fattening, but oh so delicious!!!!

I made it! Like anything else, the first time is always for experimenting, and deciding what you like and don't. Well I don't like my big frying pan and next time I'll use my smaller T-fal pan. I didn't have as much parmesan cheese and I would have liked. But...

Overall it was good (so I hear) and my SO said that it was an excellent first try


I've worked out the kinks and next time it will be even better!!


thanks everyone for the recipes! I really appreciate it
