Did you do anything to prep the eggplant before layering? I usually bread it and pan-fry it, but I'm interested to see what other people do differently.

Looks good enough to eat for breakfast. I'm hungry.

Time/temp on the baking? How many eggplants are in there?

They are at the farmers market now. I made baba ganoush last weekend. Tip: don't forget to poke holes in them before you put them on the grill. They will explode.

Looked at a few online and then winged it. Poke holes in eggplants and roast the hell out of them on the gas grill until blackened and soft, I put them in a bag or covered bowl for 15 minutes or so to let them keep cooking from residual heat. Use a glove or towel to grab them and a spoon to scoop out the meat.

Mix in garlic (roasted is good), a few Tablespoons of tahini (I used about 6 with 3 eggplants), olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. I add cumin too. Whisk it all together.

When I do chicken/eggplant parmesan, I do not bake it in the sauce. The breading gets too soggy.

I prepare the chicken/eggplant as usual, put cheese on top and bake until cheese melts and then pour the sauce on top right before serving.
