Eggplant Parmigiana


1 small eggplant (12 ounces)
2 beaten eggs
all-purpose flour
vegetable oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
tomato sauce (I use canned tomatoes, canned tomato sauce, and my own blend of basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper)
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)

Wash and peel eggplant; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Combine eggs and 1/4 a cup or so water; dip eggplant slices into egg mixture, then into flour, turning to coat both sides. In a large skillet cook eggplant, half at a time, in hot oil 4 to 6 minutes or until golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels.

Place the eggplant slices in a single layer in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Top with the tomato sauce and the mozzarella cheese. Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes or until heated through.
