Grandma Connie's Eggplant Parmesan Src
I don’t have a recipe, but my Grandma’s eggplant is my favorite family holiday dish. Here is my telling of it as I recall making it with her. Friends of my grandma, the Bruno sisters’ method of eggplant slicing is highly controversial.

Bruno sisters method*).
3.
Dredge eggplant in flour, then eggs (beaten), then breadcrumbs (optional – we went without for a few years before gluten-free breadcrumbs were available). Fry eggplant in oil.

5.
Layer remaining eggplant with tomato sauce and cheese. If using mozzarella (optional – it still tastes good lightened up), must be sliced as follows: one slice for recipe, one slice for you, one slice for whoever you are making recipe with.
