Ingredients

3 large eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
2 large eggs, beaten
4 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
6 cups spaghetti sauce, divided
1 (16 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
0.5 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with bread crumbs. Place the breaded eggplant in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Flip each slice and bake for another 5 minutes, until golden brown.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange a single layer of eggplant slices on top of the sauce. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Repeat these layers with the remaining sauce, eggplant slices, and cheeses, finishing with a final layer of cheese. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is bubbly and golden brown, approximately 35 minutes.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this delicious eggplant Parmesan!
