Easy Eggplant Parmesan Recipe
I love Italian food and I especially love Eggplant Parmesan! Once I found out how easy it is to prepare this popular dish at home, we began making it regularly.
You can create a quick and tasty version with just 5 ingredients. Convenience staples like prepared spaghetti sauce in a jar, Italian bread crumbs in a can, and pre-packaged shredded Italian cheese make this a great go-to recipe when you crave Italian at home.
It is also a great way to get your kids to eat eggplant–everything tastes great with spaghetti sauce and cheese!
