This was really yummy :) Will definitely make again. I didn't use mustard and used Prego Traditional spaghetti sauce. And I garnished with some scallions and added some garlic powder and Tony Chachere's cajun seaoning. I posted a pic :)

;)b    Really yummy!      I added some crushed chili peppers , salt and garlic to the breadcrumb mixture and it was delicious, just by itself.
The crispy, salty crust coupled with the creamy , mustardy eggplant was a fantastic combination!  thiswill be a staple, and would also be good on a sandwich with basil pesto...... :)>>>

I honestly did not like this recipe at all... it was way to mayonnaise-y, and the mix with the mustard and bread crumbs just did not work out. My boyfriend was quite unimpressed :P

This was the bomb. I had to use a little bit of canned tomato sauce because I didn't have enough tomatoes. I encourage everyone to purchase fresh basil because its so awesome to use in dishes like these.

This was so good, all crispy and wonderful on the outside and tender on the inside. I served it ontop of wholemeal fettucine with a bought pasta sauce.

Mmmm! This was sooo very yummy! The tomato mixture that goes on top is divine, it could be used as a pasta sauce by itself. Only thing I will change is next time I will slice the eggplant into slightly thicker slices, it kind of gets lost in the breading. But still tasted fantastic!!

This was my first experience was eggplant.  I've always been afraid of eggplant due to its appearance but I'm just weird I guess.  This recipe was amazing.  I used Italian Panko breadcrumbs and they worked perfectly.  I just used a quick marinara sauce and served it over whole wheat pasta.  The meat eater I married loved it!

amazing!!!!! i substituted a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes + 1 fresh diced tomato for the sauce and that was not enough. 2 cans would have been good.
