I think that the next time that I want Veal or Eggplant Parm, I'll do it this way as well!!

They don't have to be deep fried & baked in the oven. It can all be done on top of the stove! :eating2:

I do eggplant first breaded (panko + flour or cornmeal), pan fried for color crisp, but then finish in the oven to cook the eggplant al dente... I find finishing the eggplant in oven is more controllable / predictable than in a pan.

not sure if the breading would take a long soak on the stove top.

Thanks, QSis!

I believe that it was a big hit!!

It was YOU who influenced & inspired me to try it this way, behind your Buffalo Chicken Breast recipe.

I'm sincerely grateful to you for posting your recipe, for it has opened up new avenues for me to make this and be proud of it!!

Thanks again!! :eating2:

Shermie, that chicken parm looks luscious! You should go into business as a chef for people who have to avoid lots of things like you do...................
