I'd never made eggplant parmesan because I didn't want to fry the eggplant, so I was SO excited to find this recipe! I used toast instead of rolls, but found myself ditching the toast after a few bites and just eating the saucy, crunchy, cheesy eggplant. I munched on a couple of the smaller pieces plain, too, as they came out of the oven--they are good plain! I think if you spiced up the crumb mixture a bit more, you could use this recipe to make mock "fried" eggplant sticks as an appetizer. (I am freezing some of the breaded eggplant pieces for later, too. I am thinking it will make a fantastic quicky lunch.) Thank you for posting this recipe! I love it!

This is an excellent variation on Eggplant Parmesan. I had a beautiful eggplant that was begging to be drenched in breadcrumbs and Parmesan, but Hubby wasn't in the mood for my usual pasta dish. I baked my eggplant slices with my usual method instead of broiling and used a ciabatta loaf instead of the Italian rolls. We also ate these as traditional sandwiches, not openfaced. On the side, we served simple tossed salads with a roasted garlic dressing. Yum! It was a great, simple meal for a low-key Sunday evening.

These eggplant sandwiches are great and it is so nice that you don't have to fry them! My breadcrumbs were the plain kind so I used Italian seasoning - not too much because the cheese had salt and I could always add more at the end. They came out delicously and we ate them up in a jiffy! My "new" favorite way of eating eggplant. Thanks for posting, Diane
