Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown the eggplant slices on each side.

Place a layer of the eggplant slices in an 8 inch square baking dish or casserole dish. Place some tomato slices over the eggplant and then a few slices of onion. Repeat layers until you run out of eggplant. Pour balsamic vinegar over everything. In a small bowl stir together the bread crumbs and remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in a layer over the vegetables.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the eggplant is tender.
