I cut the eggplant and dipped them in egg whites, then italian bread crumbs. I baked the egg plant on cookie sheets at 425 for 20-25 minutes, turning once until they were browned, no need to fry in oil, it gets too greasy, this way they come out lite and crispy. Then I built the parmesan/eggplant lasagna with the other ingredients, delicious! :)
