Happy Monday!  Hope everyone had a happy, safe, and delicious Independence Day and weekend!  I decided to make a great eggplant Parmesan for Meatless Monday today!  I had never made this recipe before, and I was very pleased with the outcome!  Follow the recipe below!

Bake in pre-heated oven for 5 minutes per side

Remove eggplant from dish (or use a separate baking dish) and coat bottom of dish with tomato sauce
