- Breadcrumbs - 4 cups
- Marinara sauce - 1 quart
- Romano cheese (grated) - 4 ounces

- Wash and peel the eggplants. Peeling is optional, as the skin of this vegetable is rich in nutrients.
- Cut them into slices that are ¼ inch in thickness. You may add salt to the slices and keep them for an hour, so as to the reduce the pungent smell, and to drain some moisture. Otherwise, you can directly use the sliced vegetable. Fry the slices one by one.
- Coat the sides of each eggplant slice with flour, and dip it in beaten eggs, which is kept in a separate bowl. Coat it with breadcrumbs and shallow fry (you may also do deep frying), till it turns golden brown.
- Transfer the fried eggplant slices to a rectangular baking pan, which is coated with marinara sauce. Spread a layer of fried eggplant slices in the bottom of the pan and top it with mozzarella slices and grated Romano.
- Add some more sauce before starting with the next layer. Once the layering is over, make a top layer of sauce and cheese.
- Once done, cook the eggplant for around 25 minutes in the oven, which is preheated to 350° F. After removing the dish from the oven, let it sit for ten minutes before serving.
