Same. If you assemble it then freeze that will be fine, but think will be soggy in fridge.
Was going to say just this. If absolutely make in advance but put in freezer instead of fridge until ready to bake. I personally think it takes better from frozen than baking right away

Salt the raw eggplant to get the water out. And it's not eggplant parm if you're using raw eggplant in the dish.

Prep the casserole a day in advance, put in fridge, then bake the next day?
