Eggplant has a very mild flavor, like spaghetti squash. Because it has such a mild flavor, it's easily used in recipes that have bold flavors. Eggplant slices are dipped in egg and bread crumbs and then baked, instead of fried. The slices are layered with spaghetti sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Place eggplant slices in a colander; sprinkle both sides of each slice with salt.
