"Parmesan" refers to the region in Italy, south and east of Milan. They are known for their ham, cheese, and architecture! This town is not far from Modena, where the most famous balsamic vinegar is made. True, this takes a very long time to prepare, but worth every moment. Our family loves it! (And now I know why this menu item in fine Italian restaurants is usually priced higher than other items - lots of prep time.

This recipe is delicious. I love the roasted red pepper sauce. I don't use as much cheese as it calls for. The one thing I'd say negative is that it doesn't just take 30 minutes to prepare. Who can make sauce from scratch, bread crumbs from scratch, slice, dredge, and fry the egg plant slices AND layer it as outlined in 30 minutes? Maybe with kitchen helpers you could do that but one person can't. I've made it twice now. The first time after I made it I thought, O my gosh, I forgot the parmesan in the eggplant parmesan! But it doesn't even call for parmesan cheese. I tripled checked. How does that work? :

This dish is very tasty and my family loves it but, I gave this recipe a "4" for two reasons: 1: The first time I made it the cheese so overpowered the dish you couldn't even taste the eggplant so I reduced that the 2nd time. 2: I've been cooking for about fifty years and consider myself pretty adept in the kitchen and this recipe (both times took WAY LONGER to prepare than stated at the beginning and I even used pre-made bread crumbs (I did salt the eggplant and let it sweat, though. I just don't see how on earth anyone could do everything involved in 30 minutes. I'd say more like two hours unless you have a lot of help in the kitchen.

I made this a year ago and it was by far the best thing I've ever cooked. My ex still brings up this recipe in random conversations... "Remember that eggplant parmesan you made? So good..." It's a hit with the boys, ladies. : Also, the sauce is incredible -- I've even come back to this site to copy the recipe to make with pasta, too. I think I'll make this one again after the Thanksgiving chaos.

The recipe itself seemed intimidating at first glance but once I got into it then it become a lot easier.

I did not stick to the recipe to the letter. I used dried instead of fresh herbs and I used mozzarella and blue cheese instead because that is what I had in my fridge.

HELPFUL HINT: My local grocery store had roasted red peppers and garlic in their deli section. This was a time and money saver.

My most enjoyable part of the dish was the fried eggplant. Honestly, I could season and fry the eggplant as an appetizer and I would be highly satisfied.

Once you add the sauce and cheese it loses a bit of it's individual distinctive flavor but they marry well so it is not a total disappointment.

This was a great recipe. The roasted red pepper sauce is SO good! Will definately be keeping this one on file! I don't like soggy eggplane parm, so instead of baking it in the oven, I fried it as the recipe calls for, but then spooned the sauce over the individual pieces, topped with the cheese and then broiled until the cheese was nice and bubbley. Yum!
