    I enjoyed this recipe, a nice change from the usual method. I skipped steps 3 and 4 and do not peel my eggplant. I added 3/4 cup parmesan to the crumbs and it was sufficient for my taste. A wonderful way to make eggplant parmesan, topped with a light tomato sauce and shredded provolone. Yummy!

    The eggplant was cripy and had a very nice flavor. One of the reviewers mentioned cutting back on the parmesan, so I did. I think it turned out ok. Just for texture sake I did use the marinara sauce and the provolone cheese. It made a very nice side dish. Thanks, Susan for sharing this keeper!

    Wow! It is crisper than if you fried it and it is tender and moist in the middle! Wonderful flavor. I didn't use the marinara sauce but did put cheese on top. This is scrumptious! I will be saving this recipe to make over and over again! Thanks!
