This is a recipe for those who don't like to eat meat at every meal and are looking for some alternatives. This is a recipe for Eggplant Parmesan.

  • 1/4 t. Salt
  • 1/4 t. Pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease 9 X 13 baking dish with butter. Wash eggplant and cut into 1/4 in. rounds. Do not peal the skin off. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat tomato sauce and garlic in a sauce pan. 

Dip rounds into bread crumbs then into egg then back into bread crumbs. 

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Fry eggplant rounds until tender and golden brown on both sides. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
