This is one of our favorite vegetarian recipes. Not vegan with the melted cheese, but I figure that if a little bit of cheese helps my kids love eggplant, I'm okay with it. In fact, tonight Rachel went back for seconds (a first!). Plus, an eggplant is a lot cheaper than a package of chicken breasts for a recipe of chicken parmesan. Better for your health and for your budget!

for dredging
1
egg, beaten lightly and mixed with 1/4 c. water1 c. seasoned bread crumbs
