2 to 3 medium Eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch think slices (approx. 18)

Salt and Pepper

1 C Flour

2 Eggs, beaten

1 C Bread Crumbs

1 C Olive Oil

4 Tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick (approx. 18)

1 C Mozzarella, graded

2 C Marinara Sauce

1 tbsp Butter

Basil Leaves for Garnish

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Peel eggplant and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Season eggplant slices with salt and pepper, and dredge in flour, shaking off the excess. Next dip each slice in egg, then in the bread crumbs. Set aside. In a large skillet heat olive oil & butter over high heat until very hot. Saute eggplant one slice at a time until golden brown. Place the cooked slices on a baking sheet, top each with a 1/2 inch thick tomato slice and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted. To serve, stack three eggplant/tomato slices on each plate. Garnish with basil. Spoon marinara around eggplant tower.
