Seriously The BEST Eggplant EVER!

I started this recipe blog because I love food that tastes good. I don't find it worth my bother to eat food that doesn't taste good. In my quest to get my family to eat better, I have come across a lot, and I mean A LOT of recipes that sound good, but in reality, don't taste good. This is the first time I have ever tried Eggplant, and I LOVE it. So I share it with you. Seriously, even my picky eaters ate this without any complaints, and then took seconds.

Eggplant Parmesan

Bread Crumb coating
1 1/2 cups Pepperidge Farms Herbed Stuffing- mashed to crumbs
1 tsp garlic salt
1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Cut Eggplant in 1/2 inch slices. Salt
Dip in :
Beaten egg
then Dip in
Bread Crumb Coating

Fry in oil

They were crispy, and I wanted to keep them that way, so I placed them in a serving dish and put the marinara sauce in a seperate bowl, so that when it was time to serve them, we dished up our eggplant and then put the sauce on.
Seriously so good!

Here is my Marinara Sauce recipe

Saute 1 finely chopped onion in 2 Tbsp butter(or olive oil)
1 jar of bottled tomatoes put through the blender
( I like a few chunks, but do what your family will eat)
1 tsp basil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1 4 oz can tomato paste
stir and let simmer for at least 20 minutes. Longer is better

If I have it I also add sliced mushrooms, zucchini, chopped Kale, sliced olives, grated carrots, and/or chopped bell peppers to the saute before adding the tomatoes.
