- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 13" x 9" dish. Place 6 eggplant slices on top. Spread 1/2 of ricotta mixture on top of eggplant. Sprinkle 1/3 of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Repeat the layer.
- On the third layer of eggplant, top it with sauce and mozzarella.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a few more minutes.
