Need a simple and delish meal that wont brake the bank??

This weekend I made the perfect dinner that wont kill your budget!

Eggplant Parmesan that was a hit and to die for!

Not an eggplant person, you can uses zucchini as well!

The whole thing only cost me $30 and there was not a drop of it left after the weekend.

The recipe is simple and easy, you may want some extra hands in the kitchen for a few of the steps but if not just uses a few forks.

Here the amazingness:

Ingredients:

2 Medium eggplants cut lengthwise

2 jars good quality tomato sauce

2 cups all purpose flour

5 large eggs

3 ½ cups Italian breadcrumbs

1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano

1lb fresh mozzarella

Salt and pepper

Olive oil

Kitchenware:

Chefs knife

Cutting board

Measuring cups

Mixing spoons

Skillet

Tongs

Whisk

Casserole dish

Directions:

Step one:

Stir together flour, salt and pepper in a large dish. Lightly beat eggs in a second, high-sided dish. Stir together breadcrumbs and 1/3-cup parmigiano-reggiano in a third shallow bowl.

Step two:

Heat small amount oil in a non-stick skillet to medium high heat

Step Three:

Working with one slice at a time, dredge eggplant in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, and dredge in breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Transfer eggplant directly to hot oil.

Step four:

Fry eggplant 4 slices at a time, turning over once, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain.

Step five:

Spread 1 cup of tomato sauce in bottom of baking dish. Arrange about one third of eggplant slices in 1 layer over sauce, overlapping slightly if necessary. Cover eggplant with about one third of remaining sauce and one third of mozzarella. Continue layering with remaining eggplant, sauce, and mozzarella. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/3 cup of parmigiano-reggiano

Step 6:

Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted ad golden and sauce is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. The most important thing is to have the cheese NOT burn!

AND THEN ENJOY!!!!!!
