- In a plastic bag, combine the flour, bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Shake to mix. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. There should be enough oil to thinly coat the bottom of the skillet. Dip the eggplant slices in egg, then place in the bag and shake to coat. Fry the slices in the skillet until golden brown on each side. Remove, and drain on paper towels.
- Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9 inch square baking dish. Cover with the eggplant slices, then top with more sauce. Mix together the ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese; spread over the eggplant. Spread sauce over the cheese, and top with tomato slices. Cover with more sauce, and spread remaining cheese over the top.

EGGPLANT AND TOMATO BAKE
I got this recipe from the side panel of a jar of Ian's Italian Whole Wheat Panko Crumbs. I have to say I really enjoyed this recipe. I changed a few things to suit my tastes however. I added soy sour cream instead of yogurt. The creamy taste of the sour cream with the tomato was really delicious. I used a 12 oz. tub of tofutti sour cream. I found that to be enough. I used grated Romano Cheese. It has a stronger flavour then the Parmesan which we like better. I also used a can of Fire Roasted whole tomatoes for this as I love the flavour. I pureed them in my Magic Bullet. I used herbs from my garden that I'd dried and I also added a tsp of dried thyme which is one of my favourite herbs.

Steps:
- Cut the eggplants into 1/4 inch slices, lightly salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to release the bitter taste.
- In the meantime, in a large skillet, saute your garlic and onions in the olive oil over low heat.
- This step took a long time, I spent about 35 minutes doing the above step. When the onion/garlic combo are golden and soft then its ready.
- Add the herbs, tomato puree, water, salt and pepper to the onion/garlic mixture.
- Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Rinse the eggplant with water and then steam. The recipe didn't say how long to steam so I did it for about 15-20 minutes.
- Then preheat your oven to 350'F. Grease a 9x13x2 inch casserole dish. I used spray oil.
- Spread 3 tablespoons of the tomato puree onto the bottom of the oiled pan. It doesn't seem like much, but its good enough.
- Layer 1/3 of the steamed eggplant, 1/3 of the tomato puree, and 1/3 of the yogurt. Repeat the layers and end with eggplant and then tomato puree.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Then, uncover and sprinkle with the bread crumbs and cheese.
- Bake an additional 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
- Bon Appetit!

Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm eggplants: Overripe eggplants can be bitter and mushy, while underripe ones may not cook evenly. Look for eggplants that are deep purple in color, with no bruises or blemishes.
- Salt the eggplant slices before cooking: This helps to draw out the bitterness and moisture from the eggplant, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the eggplant: This will prevent the eggplant from cooking evenly and may result in soggy vegetables.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more flavorful sauce, use a combination of different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Bake the casserole until the eggplant is tender and the sauce is bubbly: This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
- Serve the casserole hot or cold: This dish can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
Conclusion:
Tomato eggplant bake is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover eggplant and tomatoes. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
