My easy to prepare version of a classic favorite is so easy, you will want to make it on a regular basis! Since the eggplant is already breaded, clean up is a breeze, making this recipe a real winner. You can also change things up by putting a layer of fresh spinach under the eggplant, in place of the zucchini, or by adding sliced mushrooms over the eggplant.
