Baked Eggplant with Eggplant sauce ( Melanzane)
Made this one up as we love eggplant and didn't want it fried. It is a TRIPLE eggplant dinner and was really delicious and felt so healthy as it wasn't fried! In Italy it is called Melanzane alla Parmigiana

1 very large eggplant-peeled and sliced into rings
flour -I used Wegmans Dusting flour (like wondra)
egg whites
Panko breadcrumbs mixed with grated parmesan
large can san marzano tomatoes
I used 5 large eggplant rings --dredged in flour then egg whites then bread crumb mixture- then placed onto stone pan into oven at 450 for about 20 minutes until browned as above.
The remainder of the eggplant was cubed --tossed with olive oil and salt/pepper placed onto stoneware bar pan and in same oven --after 15-20 minutes it was soft and golden.
Then in meantime a large can of whole san marzano tomatoes is simmering on pot on stove. I added in half of the cooked cubed eggplant and with immersion blender --blend until smooth THEN add in the second half of cooked cubed eggplant.
Place eggplant onto plate and top with eggplant sauce and garnish with parmesan!!
