My family loved this recipe. It was my first time making Eggplant Parmesan and it was a hit. Warm. Savory. Excellent! I would make it again.07/21/09

I liked this dish very much, will definitely repeat. It's a good every day dish. I pulled out about 1/2 cup of the cheese bread crumb mixture, and didn't use all that was left. I served it with plain whole wheat penne pasta, on the side, with an antipasto salad. I didn't use all the recommended sauce, left out about a cup. My kids enjoyed extra parmesan cheese on the top.09/27/07
