Thanks Betty! Out of all the YouTube Eggplant Parmigiana vids, yours was the most hand on and practical, so I ran with yours.I'll have to try the Ritz-bag method instead of the pie-plate coating stations next.
It was...I also use Romano/Parmesan cheese that is the only difference, even my husband likes it and he usually will not say to much when it comes to eggplant...so I highly recommend first time viewers to try it...you have nothing to lose and a new family fav recipe to gain...take care Betty...and happy cooking!
@chergilliam518 Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it! It is sometimes hard to get people to believe that eggplant can taste so good in a recipe like this. Thanks for the verification!
Hi Betty, to make cooking the eggplant easier, I take a half sheet pan, put some oil in the bottom and heat it in the oven at like 350. I put all the prepared eggplant slices in at once (in a single layer) and bake turning over the eggplant once. If necessary I spray the top of the eggplant with cooking spray before turning. Seems to use less oil this way and all the slices get cooked at once. They turn out golden brown and delicious this way.
@bettyskitchen I had to stop bye and make a comment for the person that kept questioning your ritz cracker method....I at first said what crackers...lol...but I did not knock it I tried it, I was tired of the old method...your method was spot on good!!! I did your recipe today, you can not tell the difference, the only thing is I put my own touches on it and added some italian seasoning along with my own dry seasonings and it turned out great... so many thanks, from Cheryl in NJ....
@bettyskitchen Makes sense. =]] Thank you for the response! P.s. Youre AWESOME! I love watching your videos and altering them...youre sort of like my platform! =D

beautiful as always sweetie...thank you so much~~~
**you know im gonna comment on the gmo canola oil and the gmos/chemicals in the ritz crackers-these things are yummy but not like they used to be (healthwise)...
Hi Betty, I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I've never had eggplant it looks gross ( I know you shouldn't judge) but I can never bring myself to eating eggplant. What you are doing looks yummy. My question is what does eggplant in this application taste like? Thanks
@tashagotjunk99 It takes the place of pasta in a pasta dish with Italian sauce, mozarella, and parmesan cheese. The eggplant itself has a mild taste, so it's quite a lot like eating pasta.
@tashagotjunk99 theres a variety of eggplant... for sweeter and less or little or no bitterness,go for the japanese eggplant.. they are much smaller and look like yellow squash just that its purple.and it becomes tender and mild taste when cooked. its yummy..^^
Those eggplants looks a little like Fried Green Tomatoes, I love those I make them at home learned from my grandmother from East Texas. This is so simple and loove GREAT. Thanks Betty
That looks absolutely wonderful, Betty! I did watch your quick tip on preparing eggplant and I never knew u were suppose to do that..so glad I saw this recipe and tip!

I find that using italian bread crumbs mixed with parmeasan cheese gives it more of an italian taste instaed of using crackers.
