Cooking instruction summary:

Place the eggplant slices in a large deep bowl or pan. Dissolve the salt in the warm water and pour it over the eggplant. Pour the cold water over it. The eggplant will float so find something to weigh it down- I flip a bowl upside down and place it right on top of the eggplant. Let it stand for 30 minutes.While the eggplant soaks, gather the rest of your ingredients. I like to put everything on a tray so that cooking outside is a little easier because once you start grilling this goes fast! A small bowl for the oil + a brush is helpful. You'll also want to have a clean plate, a spatula, and a spoon for the sauce.Combine the 3 Tablespoons Panko bread crumbs with the 2 teaspoons olive oil.Heat the grill to about medium.Drain the eggplant and pat it dry. Brush one side with the olive oil, sprinkle with the kosher salt if desired, and place the slices, oil side down, on the hot grill.Cook for a couple minutes- until nice grill marks appear on the side touching the grill. While the eggplant cooks, brush the top with olive oil.FLIP!While the eggplant cooks on the second side, spoon tomato sauce onto each slice.When the second side is done, remove the slices to the clean plate. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese, and then the bread crumbs.Top with the fresh basil, oregano, and shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
