Graciegirl: Peel the egg plant. Soak it in salt water for about an hour while you get your other ingredients, etc gather. You do this to be sure you take any bitterness out of the egg plant. Drain pat dry apply egg wash and then coat with a little flour mixed in with Itaian breadcrumbs. Fry each piece untilgolden brown, drain on paper towel. Caserole dish layer sauce then egg plant then sauce the egg plant until you get to top finsih with sauce and sprinkle mozzerrella cheese. Bake in oven at 350% until cheese melts and sauce bubbles. Let it set 10-15 minutes.
My wife makes her own sauce marinella but someimes she will cheat and use the can tomato sauce because you are getting flavor from the breadcrumbs and cheese.
Bon Appetit and Ciao
