Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and season with salt and pepper.
2
Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten eggs and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs gently onto the eggplant to ensure they stick.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4
Transfer the fried eggplant slices to a baking dish and spoon a layer of tomato sauce over the top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
5
Repeat the layers, starting with the eggplant slices, then the tomato sauce, and finally the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Top the final layer of eggplant with a layer of mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
6
Bake the eggplant parmesan in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
