Parmigiana di melanzane ... (eggplants)

During the Summer, sicilian people often cook this dish. It's delicious !!! It's not hard to do it, but it takes some time. It tastes best the day after and when it's cold.

To prepare this dish, you need:

Eggplants, tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, olive oil, hard boiled eggs, salt and pepper, and some tasty cheese.

At this point, you start fixing the eggplants into the cooking pan ...
