Perfect timing! My root canal has healed, I made my first-ever eggplant purchase, Thursday night is the night. I’m so ready!

Alison said you can't substitute for this recipe. BUT... my husband absolutely hates eggplant. I substitute roasted slices of zucchini and other spring/summer squash (and even sneak in a few slices of eggplant). It's almost the same. Close enough.

If I want to get this as close to ready to cook the day before, what step do I take it up to? Do I assemble and fridge/freeze or do i get everything ready up to frying the panko crumbs and then fry the park crumbs same day?

Do you have a print button that formats the recipe well?

Alison, I so very truly miss the newsletter on Thursdays.

I do appreciate the videos, but the newsletter has my heart!

Miss Roman. I famously am not a fan of eggplant but, based on your guidance, thought I might as well give it a shot. I do not exaggerate when I say this was one of the best things I’ve ever had. This deserves internet fame. Stew WHO?

Not an eggplant parm comment but my failed googling has led here me to ask... I was watching the video and I spied the disc under your kettle on the stove. What is it? Is it a type of converter?

is the fix for still-slightly-leathery eggplant skin just.... roasting them even more in the oven first?

Great recipe! For some time, I’ve loved the idea of eggplant parm, but rarely it’s execution: this solves that problem in such a smart way. Thank you.
