Creating Eggplant Parmesan is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
2. Prepare the Eggplants:

   • Sprinkle the sliced eggplants with salt.
   • Let them sit for 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
   • Rinse the slices and pat them dry with a paper towel.

3. Bake the Eggplants:

   • Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet.
   • Brush or spray them with olive oil to ensure they bake evenly.
   • Bake for 20 minutes or until they become tender.

4. Assemble the Dish:

   • In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce.
   • Add a layer of the baked eggplant slices.
   • Sprinkle a portion of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the eggplant.
   • Repeat these layers until you have used all the ingredients, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

5. Add the Topping:

   • In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with oregano and garlic powder.
   • Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture over the top layer of cheese.

6. Bake to Perfection:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes.
   • Look for a golden and bubbly top as a sign of doneness.

7. Let It Rest: Allow the Eggplant Parmesan to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the layers set and make it easier to serve.
