- Preheat oven to 400* F. Prep your pan: Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Using two bowls ideal for dipping and coating your eggplant slices: Put melted butter in one bowl; Mix cornbread, spices, and Parmesan cheese in second bowl.
- Dip each eggplant into melted butter, then dip into the breading mixture. Be sure to coat the eggplant as well as possible. Place onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 400* F for 15 minutes. Flip slices and continue baking for an additional 7-10 minutes. The breading should be golden brown and crispy.
