Eggplant Parmesan from Scratch

Step 1:  Peel an eggplant and cut off the top.

 Step 2: Slice it into 1/4 inch slices

 Step 3: Salt the slices on both sides thoroughly, and leave them in a strainer over a bowl. Liquid will drip out of them.

 Step 4: After 3 hours, rinse the slices thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.

 Step 5: Coat the slices in a mixture of flour and Italian seasoning

 Step 6: Drop into a frying pan that has 1" of vegetable oil heated to medium high heat.

 Step 7: Each slice needs to cook for about a minute and then be flipped and cooked for another minute or two. They should turn lightly golden brown. When they are done, arrange in a pan of precooked spaghetti with marinara.

 Step 8: Cover with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.

 Step 9: Cover the pan in foil and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes so the cheese melts and it is all heated through.

 Step 10: Serve it up with salad and feed it to your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, children, grandma, parents, best friend, classmates, teacher, coworkers, neighbor or a group of test "guinea pigs" that you try your recipes on. If they like eggplant, they will love it. I guarantee it.
