1          Peeled & Sliced (Vertically) Eggplant

1          Beaten Egg with ¼ Cups Water

½         Cup Bread Crumbs

½         Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

1          Tbsp. Garlic Powder

1          Cup Tomato Sauce

            Salt

½         Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Align Eggplant slices on a napkin, sprinkle with salt, then cover with another napkin.  Let sit 30 minutes to remove excess fluids.

In a bowl combine the Bread Crumbs, with the ½ cup of Parmesan Cheese, and Garlic Powder.

Dip the Eggplant slices in the Egg/Water mixture.  Then dredge through the Bread Crumb-Cheese mixture to coat.

Align the coated Eggplant Slices in a Dutch Oven lined with baking paper.  Bake at 450°F for 15-20 minutes until they become crispy.

Once crispy, pour the tomato sauce evenly over the crispy Eggplant Slices.  Sprinkle on the remaining ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese.   Bake until the cheese is melted
