Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned
1 small eggplant, cut into 3/4 inch thick slices
¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup spaghetti sauce
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Beat together egg and water in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
Dip eggplant slices in egg mixture, then press in bread crumbs to coat.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant slices to hot oil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook until golden brown and tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggplant during the last minute of cooking to melt.
While eggplant is cooking, combine spaghetti sauce and red pepper flakes in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Top fried eggplant slices with sauce and Parmesan cheese to serve.
