Farm to Table with Eggplant | Baked Eggplant Parmesan


Baked Eggplant Parmesan

1 large eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko crumbs
2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
3 cups sauce, divided
1/2 cup grated or shredded cheese cheese (I used a three cheese blend)
 bunch of fresh basil
  
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix crumbs, oregano and garlic powder in a plate.
Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in bread crumb mixture.
Place in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

 Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes on each side.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish spread sauce to cover the bottom. 
Place a layer of eggplant slices in the sauce and sprinkle with cheese. 
Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with the cheeses. 
Sprinkle basil on top

Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown. 

Serve with pasta.
