Make-shift Eggplant Parmesan
Favorite Trader Joe’s Concoction: Make-shift Eggplant Parmesan
Here’s Your Ingredient List— Add Basil! It’s not pictured here.
Frozen Eggplant Cutlets:
Parmesan & Roman Grated Cheese Blend:
Italian Tomato Starter Sauce:
Yesterday I needed something quick for lunch because I had to get back to watching my Tivo & surfing the internet. It was a Holiday weekend after all! I ran into the kitchen and put these two eggplant cutlets on a baking sheet & into the oven they went:
I broke out some of the Trader Joe’ Italian Tomato Starter Sauce. Yesterday was the first time I tried it— It was pretty darn good.
And then I took out some of the grated Parmesan & Romano Cheese Blend- Because everything goes better with Parmesan in my opinion…
Added that all together and here we are! A nice little lunch:
It could not be any easier than that! I didn’t even have to leave the house because all these items were tucked away in my fridge & on my pantry shelf.
Now, if you make this- put some freshly chopped basil on top. It’s screaming for some!

Mmmm, yes. Especially to the fresh basil. The only thing I’m not sure of is the pre-made tomato sauce. In my house that’s considered sacrilige. ;) It is making my stomach growl, however! Looks delish!

it’s sacrilege in my family…don’t tell my grandma! Sometimes your hunger can make you do things you wouldn’t normally do. I think my grandma would understand that part of it ;)
