Introduction
This isn't authentic Italian style eggplant parmesan but it is delicious and easy.
Ingredients

1 medium to large eggplant
1/2 jar Barilla marinara sauce
1 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
4 to 5 slices fresh mozzerella
4 Tbsp minced basil
Olive_oil for frying
1 large egg
2 Tbsp water
Salt

Directions
Step: 1Slice eggplant into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of each slice with salt and place in a colander set over a plate to drain the bitter juice,about 1 hour.
Step: 2In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.Beat the egg with the water. Dip eggplant slices in the egg and then the breadcrumbs.Fry the eggplant slices a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step: 3Place on paper towels to drain while you cook the remaining slices. It's a good idea to rinse the pan and use fresh oil between batches to avoid burned breadcrumbs on the bottom.
Step: 4In a large shallow casserole dish, place a thin layer of the sauce,then a layer of eggplant slices sprinkled with half the basil and parmesan. Add another thin layer of sauce followed by remaining eggplant slices, a thin layer of sauce, the remaining parmesan and basil and finally the fresh mozzerella. Bake uncovered at 350 for 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted.
