Dredge eggplant slices in flour, then egg and milk mixture, and then bread crumb mixture. Make a layer of coated slices in a casserole dish and sprinkle with 1 cup tomato sauce and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Make another layer of slices on the first layer,staggering slices so they don't completely overlap lower slices.
