EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA
(NOTE: This recipe was taken from the original Kansas City Knights of Columbus wives' cookbook and it makes a HUGE casserole. For just the three of us, I quartered the recipe, but am sharing it as given.)
4 cups basic tomato sauce
4 medium eggplants
1 (10 oz.) pkg. sliced Mozzarella cheese
8 oz. grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
2 medium size onions, thinly slices
2-3 cups bread crumbs
3-4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 c. fresh or dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying
Peel and slice eggplant; make round slices about 1/4 inch thick; soak eggplant 1/2 hour in salted water. Drain well; press out excess water with paper toweling; salt and pepper slices to taste. Dip slices in slightly beaten eggs and then into bread crumbs. Fry eggplant in oil until crisp. Drain on paper toweling. Using a large casserole, begin with a layer of sauce, then eggplant, then Mozzarella cheese, onion rings, sweet basil, and grated cheese; top with sauce. Continue layers until all ingredients are used, ending with sauce and grated cheese on top. Cover; bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Serves 10 to 14.
