You can do it one of two ways (at least that I like)

Fried eggplant, by traditional means, is breaded in bread crumbs and fried.
I typically slice it about a quarter inch to half inch thick, then dredge in egg and coat in breadcrumbs. You can sautee them in a nonstick skillet in some olive oil and they're pretty good. Then, top with sauce (and cheese) and bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is hot.

OR - you can slice them a little more thinly, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then roast on a sheet pan until tender (say, 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes). Then, top with sauce (and cheese) and put back under the broiler or in the hot oven to melt. This version is (obviously) lighter

The BEST way, if you like the taste of a parmesan dish but eggplant is too high-maintenance, is to buy the new Gardenburger "cutlets" We tried these the other night and they were verrrry good (breaded, crispy veggie pattie thing that we topped with the new Organic Ragu traditional style sauce and some mozzarella veggie shreds) - not vegan, but really good!!!
