I make this often. Putting the eggplant slices on a rack on the baker's sheet will make them crispier.

This looks like a wonderful recipe for Eggplant Parmigiana--which I love, but stopped making years ago because of the high calories in the original version which utilizes fried eggplant. Thanks to the Mr. Food test kitchen. Rachel

O.K. this recipe is very similar to the Adkin's eggplant parmesan. The only real difference is that you omit the flour completely, or use the Adkin's flour blend in place of the regular flour. I dip first in egg mixture then into a plate of seasoned grated parmesan cheese and omit the flour step altogether.

A technique to improve your dish, would be to peel and slice your eggplant, salt it lightly, then place it in a colander (for 10 to 15 minutes) to allow some of the excess moisture to drip out of them. This will help your eggplant from becoming mushy.
