Approximate preparation time: 10 to 15 minutes plus
20 minutes for roasting eggplant and 20 minutes for baking the

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with

with nonstick cooking spray.
Insert the slicing disc, adjusted to 4 mm, into the large work
bowl of the Cuisinart
®

rounds.
Put the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in shallow individual
containers. Dredge each slice of eggplant first in the flour, then
in the eggs, and then in the breadcrumbs. After dredging in
each ingredient, tap the eggplant to remove any excess.
Drizzle the prepared baking sheets with olive oil and arrange
eggplant in single layers on both sheets. Bake in oven for 20
minutes, flipping eggplant halfway through the baking time.
While eggplant is baking, replace the slicing disc with the fine
shredding disc and shred the Parmesan. Reverse the shredding
disc to the medium side and shred the mozzarella. mix with a
spatula to combine the cheeses.
Remove the eggplant from the oven and reduce oven
temperature to 375°F (190°C). Place 1 cup (250 ml) of tomato
sauce on the bottom of each of two 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm)
pans. Layer the eggplant equally in the pans. Spread each with
an additional ¾ to 1 cup (175-250 ml) of sauce and then
distribute the cheeses equally on top. Bake in the oven for
15 to 20 minutes until warmed through and cheese is melted
and golden.
