  1 1/2         pounds  eggplant -- unpeeled, 1/4-inch slices
  2                     eggs -- lightly beaten or more as needed
  1                cup  packaged seasoned bread crumbs -- or more as needed
  4        tablespoons  olive oil
  1          26 oz jar  marinara sauce
     1/2      teaspoon  salt
     1/2      teaspoon  dried Italian seasoning
     1/4      teaspoon  red pepper flakes
  4               ripe  plum tomatoes -- seeded and chopped
  2               cups  shredded mozzarella cheese
     1/4           cup  grated Parmesan cheese

1. Dip eggplant slices into egg; coat with crumbs. 

2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook eggplant in 3 batches until browned, 2 minutes each side; add oil as needed. Transfer to plate. 

3. Let skillet cool slightly; wipe clean. Spread 3/4 cup marinara sauce in skillet; arrange half of eggplant on top. 

4. Mix salt, Italian seasoning, pepper flakes and tomatoes in bowl. Spoon half over eggplant; top with 1 cup marinara sauce. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Repeat layering, placing mozzarella in mounds on top so each serving will have a portion. Cover skillet; simmer 20 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted.
