I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The eggplant is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is flavorful and cheesy.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The eggplant was crispy and flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
