Eggplant Parm- NOT FRIED!

This was the first time I made this recipe and I liked it b/c you did not have to fry the eggplant and it was LOVED by everyone.  (Even the dog when Livy dropped a big piece on the floor!)

Easy Eggplant Parmesan from Allrecipes

Ingredients

2 medium eggplants, peeled and thinly sliced into 1/2 inch rounds (<-- next time I might slice thinnner)

2 cups tomato sauce, divided
1 (16 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Add 1 cup tomato sauce to 9x13 baking dish, half of the eggplant, mozzarella and parmesan cheese; repeat layering process finishing with the cheeses. Sprinkle basil on top.
