This recipe was delicious! The eggplant was crispy and the cheese was melted and gooey. I loved the addition of the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, though, and the sauce was flavorful.

This recipe was a disaster! The eggplant was soggy and the cheese was rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
