It was my first time trying and making this dish. It was pretty easy to make and tasted really really good and the presentation was amazing.

YUMMY!!! I am an eggplant fan now! Thanks for this one. I used part skim mozz. and part skim ricotta. floured with wheat flour! I wouldn't change a thing. I will make this again and again and...Well you get the picture. It really was simple.

I made a pan of this and realized I should have doubled it. My husband couldn't get enough of this dish! This is the first eggplant either of us have eaten, but it won't be the last! A++++ I didn't note the prep time, but it didn't take long. It was really a very easy dish to prepare and put together.
