Ground oats provide fiber, while crushed crackers are often cheaper.

Slice the eggplants into roughly 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch slices, cutting off the ends and tops.

Lightly salt each side of the eggplant slices and place them in a colander to sweat for about 45 minutes.

Rinse the salted eggplant slices well to remove excess salt and pat dry with paper towels.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl.

In another bowl, beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water.

Dip each eggplant slice in the egg mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan.

Lightly spray the tops of the breaded eggplant with cooking spray.

Bake the breaded eggplant in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping after 15 minutes, until softened and golden.

In a 9x9 inch casserole dish, spread about 3/4 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom.

Layer the baked eggplant slices over the sauce, followed by about 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Add another 3/4 cup of marinara sauce, followed by another layer of eggplant and more sauce.

Top with the remaining eggplant, the rest of the marinara sauce, and the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Sprinkle a little dried basil on top of the cheese.

Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-40 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.
