EASY STOVETOP EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Remove the top of the eggplant with the leaves. Cut into rounds about ½ inch or less (1.25 cm) so that there are 8 pieces after discarding the rounded end.
• (Optional Step) Sprinkle salt on both sides and allow to drain on a paper towel for an hour. This will remove some moisture and any potential bitterness. Rinse and dry.
