Crispy Eggplant with Spicy Tomato Sauce

1 eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices
salt to taste
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup wheat germ

2 cups tomato sauce (such as PregoŽ Heart Smart)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Sprinkle the eggplant slices with a little salt on each side.
Place onto a baking sheet, and set aside for 10 minutes. After
10 minutes, blot with paper towels to remove the moisture that
has accumulated. Meanwhile, beat the eggs and milk together in a
mixing bowl; set aside. Mix the Parmesan cheese and wheat germ
until evenly combined; set aside.

Dip the dried eggplant slices into the egg, allow excess egg to
drip off, then press into the Parmesan cheese mixture until
coated on both sides. Gently shake off any excess Parmesan
cheese, and place the eggplant slices onto a baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining eggplant slices.

Bake in the preheated oven until tender and golden brown, 15 to
20 minutes. While the eggplant slices are baking, cook and stir
the tomato sauce and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium
heat until hot. When the eggplant is done, pour the sauce over
top, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese to serve.
