October 14, 2025 by admin

Prep the eggplant:
Slice the eggplant into even rounds. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let sit in a colander for 20–30 minutes to draw out bitterness. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
Prepare coating station:
- Place flour in one bowl.
- Beat eggs in a second bowl.
- In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, and herbs.
Coat the eggplant:
Dredge each slice in flour, dip in egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to help the coating stick.
Fry the cutlets:
Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry eggplant slices in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and tender. Drain on paper towels.
Serve hot:
Enjoy as-is or top with marinara and mozzarella for an easy Eggplant Parm-style twist.
