Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper or oil sprayed foil.
- Slice eggplant into circles/quarters that are evenly sliced (~1/2 inch thickness)
- Beat eggs into a medium size bowl and set aside. Stir together bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Dip eggplant circles into beaten egg wash followed by being dredged and covered in seasoned panko.
- Evenly distribute on baking sheet.
- As you complete the first layer of eggplant (1/2 of the cut eggplant), top each coated eggplant with 2 T. of shredded mozzarella.
- Place the remaining ½ of coated eggplant on top of the mozzarella. Finish with a final layer of 2 T. of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake stacks for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with seasonal vegetable of your choice. I love this with sliced tomatoes tossed with fresh basil, salt and olive oil; however, you serve the eggplant stacks with whatever you enjoy.
