  • 2 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
  • 1 (16-ounce) can tomatoes, undrained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

Combine egg and milk; dip eggplant slices in mixture and dredge in breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook eggplant in 2 tablespoons hot oil in a skillet until browned; add more oil if needed. Remove eggplant; drain on paper towels.
