In the second bowl add your bread crumbs and panko, grated cheese, and Mrs. Dash Southwestern Chipotle Seasoning and a little more freshly ground pepper. Mix well.
• 3. Dip eggplant in the first bowl, then in the second and repeat. Do the same for the remaining slices. Set on a meat plate, cover with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator for 24 hours. You can cut this down but they need to be in there for at least a few hours so they set up and coating will not fall off during frying process.

• 5. Spray a baking dish, pick a size that will accommodate all your eggplant on one level. Lay the eggplant down first, add some of the sauce, next take your sliced tomato and lay on top of the eggplant and sauce, next sprinkle half of the cheese over top, and the prosciutto, add more sauce and finish up with the rest of the cheese. Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash Italian Seasoning and back in a 350° preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is nice and brown and bubbly. Enjoy. Serve with a salad and your favorite bread.

ERIN’S SUPER EASY EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Slice eggplant about 1/8 to ¼ inch thick cutting the ends off and discarding. You will cover each slice with salt (approx ¼ tsp on each slice) and let sit for 30 min this will sweat the excess liquid out of the eggplant. Rinse off eggplant and pat dry with towel, beat the two eggs and run eggplant through and then into the crumbs (season as you like if you want to add stuff to it). Fry in oil (I use tongs for flipping) before a flip I use tongs to splash the tops with oil so that the breading does not fall off. After I splash it I let sit like 2 min then flip. Fry both sides and lay out on cookie sheet layered with newspaper and paper towels (removes excess grease this way). Take a rectangle casserole dish lightly cover bottom with sauce, just enough to keep food from sticking. Now layer your casserole as follows: eggplant, sauce, cheese. Keep going in this order until you are done or run out of room. I tend to use a lot of cheese; I cover so I can barely see the sauce. Bake at 350° until cheese is melted and starting to brown, of course if you do not like it brown then take out when it's melted the way you like it.
