Eggplant Parmigiana

I was craving a really good home cooked meal so I decided to try making eggplant parmigiana. I found this easy recipe from The Food Network that called for:

Olive oil
Eggplant
Salt and pepper
Tomato sauce
Basil
Mozzarella
Grated parmesan cheese
Bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
2. Oil a baking sheet with olive oil
3. Slice the eggplant into pieces that are about an inch thick and lightly season each slice with salt and pepper and place on the oiled baking sheet


4. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the tops become brown
5. Take the eggplant out of the oven and place on a plate to cool
6. In a brownie pan evenly space the pieces of eggplant and spread tomato sauce on each slice. Then place a slice of mozzarella, sprinkle parmesan cheese, and sprinkle basil on top. Place the other slices of eggplant on top and repeat this layering, adding roasted bread crumbs on the top


7. Put the pan in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted
8. Enjoy!
