Eggplant Parmesan

I love this dish. It's a nice way to add something substantial to a pasta night without using meat. (These are the pictures you get. I don't have a final picture cause I realized I didn't have any mozzarella cheese so I covered it and put it in the fridge and made it for dinner the next day. Just imagine mozzarella sprinkled on top and baked in the oven. Mmm)

1 eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 egg, beaten with 1 Tablespoon water
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons oil
1/3 parmesan cheese
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Dip eggplant slices into egg and then flour. Heat oil and cook a few eggplant slices in frying pan until golden. Drain on paper towel. Repeat with rest.
Put eggplant in a casserole dish and sprinkle with parmesan. Spoon sauce over eggplant and then top with mozzarella. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes.

Battered, and fried.

Sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan cheese- I love my Microplane Zester!
Covered with sauce. (Sorry, I don't have a finished product. At this point I realized I didn't have any mozzarella so it went in the fridge until the next day and then I didn't have time to take a picture.)
