Meatless Mondays, Attempt 3: Eggplant Parmesan

I've tried a few different Eggplant Parm recipes in the past couple years, but all of them just required way too much work for me to repeat them again - the egging, breading, & frying BEFORE all of the work to make them actually happens!  So I was thrilled to find this recipe from Chic galleria in which the eggplant was simply grilled in the oven before everything was put together!

Anyhow, my husband LOVED it (I have to say, he hasn't put up the fight I thought he would about 'meatless' meals!), my 10 month old devoured it, my 2 year old wasn't in an eating mood, and I couldn't help but take seconds!

I forgot to take a pic of the whole pan before we ate!  

I'll send you over to her page for the recipe, but a few notes from me first.:
1) I didn't have any basil, but I did have pesto.  I layered the pesto on the eggplant before the tomato sauce.
2) I didn't have nearly enough to line the pan with eggplant slices, so I chose to make 5 individual Eggplant Parm 'towers' (2 slices in each).
3) I would slice the mozza thinner next time - it was a LOT of cheese.  And I LOVE cheese.  But it was too much.
4) It was pretty warm in our house today so I didn't want to turn on the oven - I did all of the grilling & cooking in the BBQ outside - heated it up like an oven & resisted the urge to open it more than once once the food was in! (fortunately the thermometer still works on ours!)  It worked GREAT!
