eThere are no doubt many variations on how to make this popular Italian dish. The way we made it involves cooking eggplant slices on a griddle, then rolling the slices with a ricotta cheese mixture, covering with a homemade tomato sauce and cheese, then baking. If you want to see another way we’ve made eggplant Parmesana, (with bread crumbs and Prosciutto) click here. Scroll down the page after you click to see the photos.
Anyway, I’m not sure which variation of eggplant Parmesana I prefer. I like it both ways.
This version has a softer look, as well as a softer texture, and I while I like the crunchiness of the breaded eggplant, I think I prefer this version better. It tastes wonderful, and I really don’t think you’ll miss the bread crumbs at all.
If you’re trying to find a way to get your kids to eat more veggies, you might want to try this recipe. All the cheese and tomato sauce is so delicious…like eating lasagna…just without the noodles. The flavor of the eggplant is mild anyway, but with all the cheese and tomatoes, you can barely taste…let alone see…the eggplant. 
In addition, if you’re watching your carbs, this version is good because it’s prepared without breadcrumbs.
If you like the eggplant skin, you don’t have to remove it the way we did. We’re not overly fond of how eggplant skin tastes so we generally remove it prior to cooking it.
Also, salting the eggplant prior to cooking it is optional. We usually don’t do that, but we did this time; however, the next time we make it we’ll skip that step because despite rinsing the salt off the eggplant, we thought it turned out too salty. Part of that was my fault because I think I used too much salt, but still, I’ll skip that step altogether next time.

Here’s what the eggplant looked like after I rolled it and put it in the pan with some tomatoes.
And here’s what it looked like after I poured the tomato sauce mixture over the rolled eggplant slices and cherry tomatoes, then sprinkle with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Then I added mozzarella cheese on top and baked it. The first picture at the top of the page is the finished product.
