- Cut unpeeled eggplant lengthwise in 1/4-inch slices. Lightly salt and place on plate; place a baking pan filled with heavy cans on top of eggplant. Let stand 1 hour; drain off accumulated liquid.
- Dip each slice in flour, then into beaten Large eggs. Saute/fry in oil in large skillet, a few slices at a time, till browned on both sides. Drain on paper towel.
- Reserve about 1/3 c. mozzarella cheese; combine remaining cheese with Spam. Spread about 2 Tbsp. sauce over bottom of lightly-greased 1-qt baking dish. Cover with a layer of eggplant. Add in layer of Spam mix; spread with sauce. Repeat layers ending with sauce. Sprinkle with reserved cheese.
- Bake in 400 degrees oven 15 min, or possibly till mix is warm and cheese melts on top. Let stand 5 min before cutting.
- For Marinara Sauce: In a medium saucepan, saute/fry onion, celery, and garlic in oil. Add in remaining ingredients and simmer 15 min.
- Nice to know: You'll have an extra c. of sauce. Freeze it and use another day for Rice Stuffing.
