Wow! Taste extraordinaire! The calorie chart is messed up, but the taste is really great. This came out kinda like a lasagna. Together in 10 minutes, Baking time was perfect. I also baked a non-breaded, non-breadcrumbs, and non-fried other half and it was great. My store did not have Romano cheese so I used Colby-Jack instead. Definitely worth 5 Stars.<br/>I

I didn't quite need four eggs, even though my eggplant was pretty large. I just used one egg and thinned it out with about 1/3 cup milk - and even then I had some left over. I also like that this recipe includes a step to coat the eggplant slices in flour before dipping it into the egg and breadcrumbs - it makes it more crispy (and I think perhaps the coating adheres better too?). Great taste good clear instructions = 5*.

super simple and straightforward instructions, just what i needed since I had not made it in ages!<br/><br/>I layered it in a 1 1/2 quart round enameled pan and the volume was perfect for my quart of homemade sauce, 2 small eggplant and 1 large zucchini! I also prefer the grated mozzarella! great served on fresh bread as a sandwich on a cold day too!<br/><br/>thank you so much for the easy fix in my craving for eggplant parm!
