Olive Garden's Eggplant Parmigiana
Serving Size: 4

1 Eggplant -- peeled, and
cut into 1/4"-thick slices
Flour -- for dusting
Oil -- for frying
Seasoned salt -- to taste
1 jar Prego meat-flavored sauce - (16 oz)
1/4 cup grape jelly
1 can sliced-style stewed tomatoes - (14 oz)
4 slices mozzarella cheese

Moisten eggplant slices and coat lightly in flour. Quickly brown slices
in hot oil, dusting each side generously with seasoned salt. When fork
tender and golden brown transfer to jelly roll pan. Cover loosely with
foil and bake at 375 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.
Use 8 slices for this amount of sauce.

For the Sauce; combine sauce, jelly and tomatoes that have been broken up with a fork. Heat on medium until piping hot. Do not boil. Be sure jelly is melted.

Arrange 2 eggplant slices on each of 4 plates. Cover each with 1 slice of mozzarella. Ladle sauce over all, not to cover completely. Place plates in 375 degree oven just to melt cheese and serve promptly.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
