Eggplant parmesan

Bob bought an eggplant last week, and finally I summoned the courage to do something with it. Tonight I made eggplant parmesan. It was a hit! The kids all ate it (Jonas had tenths, really!) Here's the recipe. I've modified it from the online allrecipes and made it easier to throw together. Bob suggests adding ham or pepperoni to it, but if you want a meat-free meal, follow the... following:

1 eggplant, sliced and diced
4 beaten eggs
1/2 loaf crumbled bread with added italian seasoning (or used storebought italian breadcrumbs)
Mix together

Layer 1/3 spaghetti sauce on bottom of 9X13 pan
Layer 1/2 the eggplant mixture
Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese on
The 2/3 of the spaghetti sauce
The rest of the eggplant mixture
More cheese

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Ta-Da! You've just made a delicious meal!
Other add-in options: squash, mushrooms, more cheeses, oh the list could go on...
