A friend of mine during our college years in Berkeley made this dish for me and I have been making this recipe ever since. It tastes wonderful, even if you don't love eggplant.

Ingredients

2 Eggplant

4 Zucchini

4 Eggs

Seasoned bread crumbs

Butter or margarine

1 pound Mozzarella cheese, grated

1 jar Marinara sauce

Preparation

1. Peel eggplant, slice off both ends thinly. Slice 1/2" thick. Do the same for the zucchini.

2. Beat eggs in a bowl until yolks and whites mix. Pour into shallow dish. Spread seasoned bread crumbs in a plate.

3. Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in bread crumbs until covered. Place breaded slices on cookie sheet. Place zucchini slices (breaded or not) between eggplant slices.

4. Place a dab of butter on each slice; broil 5 minutes or until golden brown. Turn slices over; add another dab of butter to each side, and broil again.

5. Preheat oven to 350°F.

6. Grate 1 lb mozzarella cheese into shredded strips. In a glass casserole dish, layer:

1/2 of the eggplant/zucchini, fitted together

1/2 of the marinara sauce

1/2 of the cheese

Repeat layer, ending with cheese on top.

7. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour (until cheese melts and is browned slightly on edges).
