Ingredients

2 servings

•

1 large egg
•

1 tablespoon water
•

1 cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned
•

1 small eggplant, cut into 3/4 inch thick slices
•

0.25 cup vegetable oil, or as needed

•

1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
•

0.25 cup spaghetti sauce
•

0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
•

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Beat together egg and water in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
Dip eggplant slices in egg mixture, then press in bread crumbs to coat.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant slices to hot oil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook until golden brown and tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggplant during the last minute of cooking to melt.
While eggplant is cooking, combine spaghetti sauce and red pepper flakes in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Top fried eggplant slices with sauce and Parmesan cheese to serve.
