Eggplant Parmesan (with a side of spaghetti)

My sister absolutely loves this dish and we had leftover eggplant so I figured: why not? And why not was right! This was cheesy, delicious, and the perfect meal for tonight. It wasn't too hard either..

Ingredients

1 medium size eggplant (sliced)

2 cups garlic breadcrumbs

2. In 3 bowls, separate flour, eggs and breadcrumbs.

3. Take sliced eggplant and one by one dip them in the flour then egg mixture then breadcrumbs to coat

4. When all are covered and ready, add olive oil to pan and pan fry them until golden brown. Then flip.

5. When all are done, grease pan and add layer of tomato sauce.

6. Add half of the breaded and fried eggplant to sauce

7. Top that layer with sauce and cheese

8. Top the cheese layer with a layer of eggplant again.

9. Repeat Step #7 and #8 until all eggplant, cheese, and tomato sauce are gone. (Make sure the top is cheese.)

10. Put in oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes (or until slightly brown)

11. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before eating.

12. Enjoy.

**Note: Spaghetti is a good side dish for this and only takes about 10-15 minutes.
