The eggplant was a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of olive oil next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious! I used fresh eggplant from my garden and the flavor was amazing. The sauce was also very good, with a nice balance of acidity and sweetness.

I've made eggplant parmesan many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The secret is in the breading - the combination of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs gives the eggplant a crispy, golden-brown crust.

This eggplant parmesan recipe is a keeper! The eggplant was crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and cheesy. I especially loved the addition of fresh basil, which really brightened up the dish.
