Crispy Baked Eggplant Slices

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Eggplant Slices.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a baking sheet or pizza pan and give it a light coating of olive oil to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s prepare the star of the show: the eggplant.

4. Step 4

   Slice it into about eight round pieces, each roughly 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, and don’t forget to trim the skin while keeping those lovely round shapes intact.

5. Step 5

   In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a splash of water until they’re well blended.

6. Step 6

   In another bowl, pour in your breadcrumbs, ready for some delicious coating action.

7. Step 7

   Take each eggplant slice and dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off before rolling it in the breadcrumbs for a nice, even coating.

8. Step 8

   Once all the slices are coated, arrange them in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.

9. Step 9

   Now comes the fun part: top each slice with a generous helping of chopped tomatoes, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of zesty Italian-style salad dressing to bring it all together.

10. Step 10

    Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 15 minutes, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.

11. Step 11

    After that, switch your oven to broil and keep an eye on those slices as they cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, just until they’re golden and bubbly.

12. Step 12

    Enjoy the delightful flavors of your baked eggplant creation!.
