- Then take each slice and coat it in the egg mixture and then in the bread crumb mixture and place each one on the baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes flipping half way through. Take out of the oven and set aside.
- Next, coat the bottom of a baking dish with some of the marinara sauce and add the cooked eggplant in and even layer.
- Then top each eggplant with a slice of the mozzarella cheese and some of the fresh basil.
- Next, top each slice of eggplant with some marinara sauce.
- Then add another slice of eggplant and this time add the marinara on top with some fresh basil and top with the last slice of mozzarella cheese and then sprinkle the last TBSP of parmesan over the top of everything.
- Last, turn the heat of the oven up to 400 degrees and cook another 15 minutes and enjoy!
