EGGPLANT PARMESAN - Microwave 
1 med. eggplant, about 1 1/4 lb.
1 egg
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/3 c. Italian bread crumbs
1 tbsp. cornmeal
6 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 c. thick spaghetti sauce
6 oz. mozzarella cheese (1 1/2 c.)

1. Cut eggplant crosswise into 1/2 inch slices. In pie plate beat together egg and oil. In a shallow bowl, blend bread crumbs, cornmeal and 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.

2. Dip each eggplant slice in egg, then dredge in bread crumbs mixture to coat. Arrange slices, overlapping in a 12 inch round baking dish. Cover with paper towel. Cook on high 10-14 minutes or until eggplant is tender.

3. Remove from microwave and spoon sauce over eggplant. Sprinkle with mozzarella and remaining Parmesan. Cook, uncovered, on high 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve hot. Jar spaghetti sauce is good to use.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

 Rich Neusse (Texas) says:
Excellent alternative to frying first, then bake. Taste is too similar to waste time and mess cleanup with frying method. I recommend using 2 eggs and 2 tbsp. olive oil. If you run out of egg dip you have to stop and prepare egg mix again to finish the last 2 or 3 slices.

This is a winner! On my first try, I created really delicious eggplant parmesan, and I am NO cook! I used walmart ingredients...GV Italian style cheese, Grated Parmesan, Italian Panco bread crumbs, and Ragu Homestyle pasta sauce (thick and hearty roasted garlic) I put a layer of bread crumbs and parmesan on bottom of cook ware.
