    Fried Eggplant


    Source of Recipe

    List of Ingredients




    1 large eggplant (about two pounds)
    2 eggs
    2 Tbsp. milk
    salt and pepper to taste
    2 cups bread crumbs
    3/4 cup olive oil

    Recipe



    Peel eggplant and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Combine eggs,
    milk and salt and pepper in a small bowl and beat together.
    Pour bread crumbs onto a plate and season with additional salt
    and pepper if desired. Dip eggplant slices into egg mixture and
    then into the bread crumbs to coat both sides. Put enough oil
    in a heavy skillet to cover the bottom of the skillet about 1/4
    inch deep and heat until very hot. Add 2 or 3 eggplant slices
    to the oil and cook until golden brown, turning to brown both
    sides. Remove slices and drain on a paper towel. Repeat the
    process adding oil as necessary since the eggplant tends to absorb
    the oil. If this is done right the eggplant should be just a
    little firm and almost crisp on the outside and tender in the
    middle. Keep the oil hot for best results.

    You could use low fat milk but it probably doesn't
    matter much in this recipe. Olive oil is better for you than most
    other oils so that is one plus for this recipe.
