EXCELLENT EGGPLANT PARMESAN
This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe I saw on Throw Down, with Bobby Flay. This recipe is from Bobby Flay's challenger. I found the recipe on the food network website. The original recipe called for two eggplants, but I found that was too much. It also used 28 oz of Marinara sauce, but making it in a 9x13" dish, that was too little. The chef's recipe also said to use sliced, dry mozzarella, but I preferred grated. The original recipe didn't specify a pan size, so I made it in a 9x13" dish. You could, however, scale down the recipe and cook it in an 8x8 or 9x9" dish.

Steps:
- Peel the eggplant, and cut it in half length-wise.
- Cut into 1/4" slices.
- Coat eggplant slices in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with bread crumbs.
- Continue with all slices piling onto a plate.
- Pour oil (I use vegetable oil) into a saute pan using enough to submerse eggplant slices.
- Fry until lightly browned on each side. Remove to plate.
- Pour enough Marinara sauce to cover bottom of 9x13" dish with a thin layer.
- Add eggplant in a single layer.
- Pour additional Marinara sauce to cover top of eggplant. Add about 1 & 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle 1/2 cup of Romano cheese over.
- Continue with the next layer of sauce, eggplant, sauce, and the remainder of the cheese.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
