    This is the BEST eggplant parmesan recipe! My friends and family enjoyed it very much. We liked it so much we had some for breakfast the next morning. It is a bit time consuming so it's better as a Sunday meal. Get your family involved when making it. To make it easier you can prep the sauce ahead of time and use store bought bread crumbs.

    I guarantee you will love this recipe!

    This dish was amazing! I was a bit intimidated, but kept following the steps and was very impressed! I usually keep breadcrumbs on hand using old ends of bagettes etc, so I really just needed to season them. Also roasted peppers on the grill, and my tomatoes are just coming in, so roasted a few of those to substitute in the sauce. I am lucky enough to have fresh herbs so that was easy. This is not a beginners dish, but has great depth of flavor. My seventeen year old son does not eat eggplant and wanted thirds. Right on Bobby!!

    This was pretty good, but a lot of work. It took way too long for an easy, after work dinner. If I make this again, it'll have to be on a weekend when I have more time to prep & cook.
    Shortcuts: I used store bought, pre-seasoned bread crumbs. Next time, I'll also use canned roasted red bell peppers.

    This dish is amazing ... I just cooked it yesterday and everyone loved it! BUT take my advice and don't overwhelm yourself by making everything the same day. Definitely make the sauce and breadcrumbs the day before .... or use store bought breadcrumbs (i did and it still turned out amazing!!!

    This is a wonderful recipe. It does take some time, but the steps are easily broken up, so I'm not in the kitchen all day long. I do the sauce one day, the breadcrumbs another time. That just leaves frying up the eggplant and assembling. The sauce is absolutely wonderful and has now become my favorite go to sauce for just about everything. I do agree that a stick blender works better. I also use dried herbs because fresh are just way too expensive, and I have no talent in growing anything.

    I've made eggplant parmesan many, many times. I've used recipes from books, tv, the web and friends, but this is my new favorite. Yes, there are a lot of steps, but as someone else said "learn to multi-task". I told my wife "if I could meet Bobby Flay I'd kiss him on the mouth for making this recipe available".

    I made this for just my wife and me tonight. I cut down on the cheese and eggplant accordingly and I didn't make the breadcrumbs, they were store bought, but I made the full recipe of the sauce. The leftover sauce will be frozen in Food Saver bags and used this winter. I plan to use this sauce recipe as my go to tomato based pasta sauce.

    By the way, if you share in the prep, cooking and clean-up with your spouse, significant other, family or friends It is not difficult. Cooking at our house is a team sport and this one was good for the team.

    Thany you Bobby!!!!

    I love to cook but give me a break. This recipe wiped out my entire kitchen and took hours. The sauce was very good but the overall dish was nothing amazing. You didn't need to make your own breadcrumbs.

    This recipe was my first ever attempt at eggplant parmesan: success. Second time around I tried to make it a little more healthy by baking instead of frying the eggplant slices, but I would not recommend this. Would not recommend store-bought sauce, either - Bobby's homemade sauce recipe is crucial to make this one a winner.

    Amazingly great recipe. The sauce is soooo good. I'm a believer in the "eat dessert first..." club, but I'd eat this eggplant parmesan first! I did sweat the eggplant for a couple of hours and this helped maintain their firmness.

    Booby has done it again with this one! Amazing flavors. The sauce is a bit time consuming but well worth it! This is definitely going on my list of favorites!
