Whether or not the use of an egg dip is authentic, it really is a key step. There's nothing worse than breadcrumbs just floating around in the sauce, instead of actually sticking to the eggplant. Trying to fry just bread-coated eggplant also poses a problem. The eggplant soaks up a lot of the oil, especially if the oil is not hot enough. If the oil is too hot, however, you risk burning the crumbs.

I made this for my father for his birthday and he said it was one of the best examples of eggplant parmesan he had ever had! Absolutely delicious - a little difficult to make the first time, but worth it!

Very easy and delicious. Takes awhile to fry the eggplant though. I like the fresh mozz on there too.

I thought the egglant was very bland. Maybe if the bread crumbs would have stuck to the eggplant better or if the oil did not get sucked up so fast it would have been better. I had high hopes for this meal. I think an egg wash would have really helped with the breading process. I might try it again, but I will have to make changes to get a better result

I prepared this wonderful recipe the first time without the stewed tomatoes but with tomato sauce, since I had it in stock. My husband never raved so much about not getting meat and potatoes, as the meatiness of the eggplant and spices in the sauce made it a complete meal, how could we go wrong? The second time I tried the recipe, I used the stewed tomatoes, and although the recipe claims to simmer for 30 minutes until becomes like hot cereal, the plump tomatoes never made it but to the soupy stage. I am on my third time with the recipe tonight, and I'm sticking with tomato sauce....went perfect the first time.

Tastes great. . . it takes a bit of time to do all the frying, though. . . worth it! even my boyfriend liked it.

The first time I tried this my eggplant turned out soggy. I switched to some different olive oil and it came out great! I use the spaghetti sauce recipe about one a week with some canned San Marzano tomatoes and it's excellent! It's my standard sauce now.

This was my first time trying eggplant. It was very tasty, and my kids gobbled it up. Thanks Mario!
