Steps:
- Slice the eggplants into ½" thick disks. If you have the time, season the slices with salt and set aside on rack to "drain" for 30 minutes. Wipe the salt and excess moisture off with paper towel. If you don't have the time, you can get away with not doing this step, but you'll need to season the eggplant more aggressively in later steps.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Place the flour in a dredging bowl. Place the panko, oregano, and garlic powder in another dredging bowl, and stir to combine. In a third bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of water.
- Dredge the eggplant slices in the flour, shake off the excess, then in the egg, shake off the excess, then into the panko bread crumbs. Set aside.
- Heat up a skillet over medium heat, and fill with enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan about ¼" up. Place a single layer of eggplant slices into the skillet and fry for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Make sure to watch that the eggplant slices aren't burning, and adjust the heat up or down as needed.
- Place the fried eggplant slices on a tray, season with salt and pepper, then keep in the warm oven while you finish frying all batches of eggplant. Add more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
- When you're done frying all the eggplant, remove the eggplant from the oven and increase the temperature to 350 degrees F.
- To assemble each sandwich, slice a ciabatta roll in half, then put on a single layer of eggplant slices. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add a couple spoonfuls of grated parmesan, then a couple spoonfuls of marinara sauce, then a single layer of sliced mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil, then put the top of the sandwich on and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melty. Tuck a few basil leaves into each sandwich, then enjoy!

Steps:
- For the tomato sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and season with salt and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onions become translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sugar and the canned tomatoes. Use a wooden spoon to break up some of the whole tomatoes and cook 10 to 15 minutes over medium heat, stirring from time to time. Taste for seasoning, the tomatoes should be fairly broken down and the flavors coming together. Cook for another few minutes if the tomatoes still taste like they need a little more time to break down. Set aside to cool.
- For the eggplant (this step is optional, leave it out if you have limited time): Arrange the eggplant rounds in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt on both sides of each slice and allow it to sit for about 1 hour. Salting it draws out the liquid and bitter flavor. After an hour, rinse with cold water and dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
- Put the flour in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the oregano and fresh thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper. Dip each eggplant slice in the flour and shake off any excess. Then, dip in the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Make sure to coat both sides of each slice of eggplant. Arrange them in single layers on the baking sheets.
- In a large skillet, pour enough oil to accumulate about 1/2-inch in the bottom. Heat the oil until it begins to smoke lightly (alternatively, test with a thermometer and wait until the oil registers between 380 degrees F and 400 degrees F). Use a pair of kitchen tongs to add a single layer of the eggplant to the pan. Cook them until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the oil and transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a kitchen towel so the eggplant can drain as the others cook. Season lightly with salt. Take care to reheat the oil back up to temperature before adding another batch of slices to the pan.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- To assemble: In a 9 by 13-inch flameproof baking dish, spoon about 1/4 of the tomato sauce on the bottom. Top with a layer of the fried eggplant; the eggplant slices can overlap slightly. Top with about 1/3 of the mozzarella slices. Sprinkle with about 1/4 of the Parmesan and provolone cheeses. Top with a layer of torn basil leaves. Spoon sauce and repeat the layering 2 more times to make 3 layers. End with the remaining mozzarella. Carefully press the layers down firmly into the dish once assembled. Place the dish in the top part of the oven and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. For extra browning, put the dish under the broiler for a minute or two just before serving to get an extra brown cheesy top. I always nibble on a bit of that before sharing it with my friends!

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMESAN
this is a recipe i never thought i would like. but i LOVE it! it is so easy to make. sometimes i serve it over pasta, sometimes not. it's up to you. i have added meat to my spaghetti sauce before, but that really isn't necessary either because the eggplant is a meat substitute.

Steps:
- Slice the eggplant crosswise about 1/4 to 3/8-inch thick - make slices as consistent as possible. If the base of the eggplant is very large, cut it in half lengthwise. Soak the sliced eggplant in a large bowl of warm, salted water for 1 to 2 hours. Make sure the eggplant is completely submerged in the salt water.
- Scramble the 3 eggs with salt and pepper to make an egg wash. Remove eggplant slices from the salt bath, shake off excess moisture, and dip into egg wash. Then dip the eggplant slices, 1 at a time, into a flat plate filled with seasoned bread crumbs, covering all surfaces, and set aside. Continue breading the eggplant until all slices are done. Discard excess egg wash and bread crumbs.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan and allow it to heat up. (Add more oil as necessary during cooking.)
- Add the breaded eggplant slices to the pan, cover and cook until you begin to see the eggplant become translucent, about 5 minutes. If it begins to burn, lower heat and allow it to cook slowly. Using a large spatula, turn eggplant onto the other side and cook 1 to 2 more minutes with the lid on until eggplant is completely tender.
- When eggplant is completely cooked, remove from frying pan and place onto paper towels to blot any excess oil.
- Place 2 or 3 eggplant slices onto warmed Italian roll, top with shredded mozzarella cheese, then warm marinara sauce. Enjoy!

"EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMESAN" SANDWICHES
This is a fusion recipe my mother invented when we were growing up. She wanted an eggless method for "breading" the eggplant and therefore made Indian-style pakoras (fritters) from slices of skinny chinese eggplant, then baked them into a yummy casserole with cheese and marinara sauce, which was then served warm in fresh sub rolls. It is always a big hit with our relatives and friends. I enjoy these with a handful of potato chips tucked into my freshly made sandwich.

Steps:
- Combine the chickpea flour, salt and pepper together in a medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk in enough water (little by little) until the mixture's consistency resembles a thick pancake batter.
- Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.
- Dip a few eggplant slices in the batter to coat them, then carefully drop them into the oil and fry till golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined pan.
- Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices, working in batches, until all are fried. Note: The batter may thicken upon standing, so add a little water to thin it as you go, if required.
- While the eggplant fritters are cooling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
- Grease (or coat with nonstick spray) an 8x8 oven-safe baking dish.
- Put a 1/4 inch layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of the dish.
- Add a single layer of eggplant slices.
- Top with another layer of sauce, then a few sprinkles of parmesan, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper and/or jalapenos (if using), and a layer of shredded mozzarella.
- Repeat layers as above until all the eggplant slices are used, or the pan is full (whichever happens first). Leftover slices can be enjoyed plain with marinara sauce for dipping, or frozen for use when making this casserole again.
- Top the final layer with additional sauce and mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly.
- Split the rolls lengthwise, leaving a closed edge or "hinge" on one side.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of the eggplant casserole into each roll (can be more or less depending on the size of your rolls).
- Serve with potato chips.
- Notes: The egplant fritters can be made in advance and frozen until you are ready to make the casserole. The baked casserole can also be frozen in smaller portions and reheated to make just one or two sandwiches.
- The measurements listed are approximate -- you may not end up using the entire quantity of cheese or sauce, for example, or, depending on your eggplant size, you may want to use a 9x13 pan instead of 8x8.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner and another baking sheet with a wire rack.
- For the eggplant: In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar and some salt. Evenly place the tomatoes on the lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast until slightly caramelized and dried out a bit, 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
- Set the eggplant slices on the wire rack (if you don't have a rack you can use a colander set in the sink). Sprinkle salt on each side of the eggplant and let the salt do the work for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Once the salt has released moisture from the eggplant, pat the slices dry with paper towels. Then sprinkle each side of the eggplant with pepper.
- Set up a standard breading station with the flour in one shallow dish, the eggs in another and the panko mixed with the Parmesan in a third dish. Dredge each eggplant slice in the flour, shake off any excess, dip in the egg, let any excess drip off and then coat in the panko. Set aside on the wire rack and repeat.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1-inch vegetable oil to 350 degrees F.
- Working in small batches, fry the eggplant slices, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes a side. Using a pair of tongs, transfer back to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining eggplant. Make sure to season the eggplant as it comes out of the oil.
- For the sandwich build: Butter and griddle both sides of the buns until golden and crispy (you can toast the buns as well). Tear the burrata over the bottom buns, then add 2 hot eggplant slices, some roasted tomatoes, a few pickled cherry peppers and some fresh basil leaves on each bun. Serve to applause.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI, MUSHROOM AND EGGPLANT PARMESAN SANDWICHES
This fun easy and a bit healthier. A great way to individually serve individual servings of this traditional classic all the traditional flavors. Roasted eggplant, zucchini and portabellos, fresh mozzarella and parmesan, a bread crumb topping and of course a good tomato sauce. Baked and serve like sandwich stacked individually for each person. A great alternative to chicken or veal. Just really great. A main course with a side salad and bread. Or serve it as a side dish with some grilled chicken, fish or steak. It is not really hard at all.

Steps:
- Vegetables -- Thin slice the zucchini, lengthwise and then cut in half skin on, same with the eggplant. Then slice the portabellos the same way. Drizzle all with olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and cook 15-20 minutes until golden brown and 1/2 way cooked. Lightly soft but not over done. Remove and let cool.
- Sauce -- Add a little olive oil just a teaspoon to a pot and add the onion, garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, a little salt and pepper and cook and just let simmer for 10-12 minutes as you prepare all the other ingredients.
- Topping -- Make the bread crumbs, just mix the bread crumbs and olive oil in a small bowl to combine.
- Sandwich time -- Now, we are making a sandwich basically. Three layers. First add a little sauce about 3/4 cup to the bottom of a small casserole dish. Then -- Eggplant (1 slice), sauce (just a tablespoon or so), and cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then zucchini, sauce (1 tablespoon or so), cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then mushrooms, sauce , cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then topped with eggplant, and the sauce. Divide among the 6 sandwiches and top well. Then top with bread crumbs, and parmesan.
- Bake -- at 350 for 30-40 minutes until nice and bubbly and bread crumbs are nice and brown. My oven takes around 30 minutes.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMESAN
This is an adopted recipe from MeanChef, a former member, his version of a popular dish. No frying involved, so it is healthier for you! A nice easy recipe. Personally, I like to dredge the oiled slices of eggplant in fine dry breadcrumbs before roasting it in the oven, then I put the sauce in the dish, layer the eggplant, mozzarella (thin slices) top with more sauce, more cheese until I have used the amount I prefer; as noted in the reviews, most chefs use less cheese than specified in the recipe. To me a recipe is a guide that I make 'my way' ! I often add dried basil in the sauce when I don't have fresh basil to layer. I don't add salt, I find the sauce and cheeses are salty enough for my tastes.
