On a cutting board peel and make slices the rinsed with cold water Eggplant.

Dip the Eggplant in the Eggs.

Then, put the Eggplant in the Cracker crumbs and turn over a few times to coat. Then put in the large pan with the heated Oil. Set you timer allow 10 minutes on each side. Ser the timer please.

Then add the Tomato Sauce on the Eggplant. Allow the Eggplant to cook another 5 minutes on each side. Please, set your timer. 

Then put the cheese on the top of the Eggplant and cook another 10 minutes until the Cheese melts. Please, set the timer.

It serves a family of four. I hope that all enjoy! Also I suggest that you serve a large tossed  Organic Salad first with Organic Raw Vegetables with one of my dip recipes or Italian Dressing that you can make with a hearty sprinkle of Italian Seasoning and  4 tablespoons of Omega Mayonnaise. Also serve Sweet Green Peas Steamed and a pat of low fat butter or Green Giant Frozen  Sweet Green Peas in butter sauce is a delicious brand.
