Dip the eggplant in flour, then egg batter, then breadcrumb/parm/herb mix 4. Pan fry them.on each side a couple minutes 5. Assemble in casserole dish with marinara, eggplant, sliced fresh mozzarella, little more marinara, and parmesan, then another whole second layer on top (I had 8 little mountains) 6. Bake 7.

Most recipes call for baking. In fact, some don't have the pan frying step. There may be some that are frying only? Not the expert here. May I ask what made you a recent vegetarian? My gf who I have been dating a little over a year is a pescatarian so I have learned how to make a lot of vegetarian dishes. We only have fish maybe once a week, if that.

May I ask what made you a recent vegetarian? it's been something i've considered doing for a few years. over the years i slowly started reducing my meat intake and finally took the plunge last Thanksgiving (last time i intentionally ate meat). my primary motivation for reducing my meat consumption was both environmental (the carbon footprint of meat is outstanding vs vegetarian diet) and feeling horrible about contributing to the suffering caused by factory farm conditions. i didn't have a problem with eating an animal on principle, but knowing that animal spent basically its entire life suffering just made me feel terrible. now that i've been meat free for a few months i've sorta changed my views on the principle of eating it. i can eat tasty and healthy food that i enjoy (and is much cheaper) without causing a sentient being to die, their lives are more valuable than my desire to taste a specific flavor. that said, i don't judge anyone who does eat it. --- Playing: Dead Cells I hope something good happens to you today <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:962571331] in Making Egg...

If you just pan fried it then it wouldnt really soften much and youd end up with bitter crunchy eggplant. Better to bake it.
