This is good for a healthier version of eggplant parmesan. I usually coat eggplant in egg and italian bread crumbs and fry in oil, then layer in pan with mozerella, spaghetti sauce, and parmesan and cover with foil and bake which is amazing, but obviously only occaionally because it is not healthy... I thought this version was a little more bland, but still good and a great healthy alternative.
