Secret Ingredients
  • 2 medium eggplants, peeled and cut crosswise (i cut 1/4-1/2 inch wide)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt (i use less about a teaspoon)
  • 4 cups breadcrumbs (best from dense white bread, french bread, preferably not the kind from the can)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil (i've used olive, too)
Directions
  1. Start by draining the eggplant: layer sliced eggplant with gentle sprinkle of salt in a colander and place a plate or lid on top). The eggplant will leak out about 2 tbs. of moisture (about a half hour-sometimes I just do set it about 15 minutes and that seems to work, too).
  2. I lightly wipe excess salt off with damp paper towel.
  3. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare cookie sheet/jelly roll pan with half the oil and heat in oven while dipping/breading the eggplant.
  4. Mix together flour and pepper and put in large Zip-lock bag.
  5. Mix Parmesan and bread crumbs and put in pie plate.
  6. Dipping process:.
  7. Place about 10 slices at a time in flour and shake to coat lightly.
  8. Dip eggplant in beaten egg (I use a cereal bowl to dip).
  9. Dredge in bread crumb mixture.
  10. Line, without overlapping, eggplant onto cookie sheet.
  11. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until bottoms are lightly browned, and flip and finish cooking the other side.
  12. Repeat with remaining eggplant.
  13. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
