To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds

- 2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 jar of your favorite marinara sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Next, prepare your eggplant by slicing it into 1/2 inch rounds. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese. Dip each eggplant slice into the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated eggplant slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the eggplant slices with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once the eggplant is cooked, remove it from the oven and top each slice with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the Crispy Baked Eggplant Parmesan hot and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy eggplant, tangy marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese.
This dish is perfect for vegetarians and can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It is a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet and is a healthier alternative to traditional fried eggplant parmesan.
