Hi everyone, I am going to give you something different today, a recipe for eggplant.
Essential ingredients:
Eggplant (make sure it is firm)
Panko bread crumbs
Italian seasonings ( rosemary, oregano, etc.)
Asiago or parmesan cheese
1 egg
Olive oil
You can peel the eggplant or just leave the skin on. Slice the eggplant in rounds not quite a inch thick. Take a dish towel and lay the eggplant rounds on it. (Saves from using a paper towel not to mention a tree.) Sprinkle salt on both sides of the eggplant. Not a lot but enough. Leave for about a hour or longer. After this time they will seem pretty limp but don't worry this is what you want, otherwise they soak up oil while frying them. Take panko bread crumbs and put on a plate, sprinkle in oregano, rosemary and any other italian seasoning you would like. Also sprinkle some cheese in.
Take the egg and mix with small bit of water about 1/4 cup mix well. Take eggplant round and dip in egg and then dip in panko. Just put them on the towel until the oil is hot in the frying pan. Because you have removed the water they will fry fast. When brown and done transfer to paper towel to drain, also sprinkle some cheese on them.
You can make a dip and serve as a hors d' oeuvres if you like. The sauce could be a tomato sauce or even ranch dip.
