To make these sliders, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 large eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 12 slider buns

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Then, set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
Dip each eggplant slice into the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat each slice evenly. Place the breaded eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the eggplant is baking, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the eggplant is done, remove it from the oven and top each slice with a spoonful of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Return the eggplant to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To assemble the sliders, place one slice of eggplant on each slider bun, and top with additional marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
