thanks for reminding me of an old favorite! I am making it tonight! I also prefer to bake it than fry it bc I like it crispier and it is healthier too!

I am so glad I found this recipe! We went out to eat at an Italian restaurant a few weeks ago and I had the eggplant parm. My dh ate my leftovers and raved about how good it was. I am definately going to make this, it is one of my favorites and I really want to start making some vegetarian meals. My dh is trying to lose weight and we need to eat healthier, I also like this is baked and not fried. Thanks M2M, you are the best!

That's why you salt and drain it first - removes a lot of the extra water.

My grandmother used to lightly salt the slices, then stack them on a plate about three slices high (more or less depending on how thick the slices were) with another plate on top of the stack to press the water out of them. After a hlf hour or so, she would drain them, and then flip them so that the bottom plate was on the top, and let them go another half hour.

Can't wait to make this for DH. Thanks!!!

Will definitely try it! Love good Eggplant Parm!
