Steps:
- Place the flour, egg, and bread crumbs each in 3 small bowls. Add the 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the egg and whisk to combine. Season the bread crumbs with the tablespoon of Essence and stir with a fork or your hands to thoroughly combine.
- Dredge each piece of eggplant in the flour, coating thoroughly and then shaking to remove any excess flour. Coat each piece with the egg, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture, pressing to make the bread crumbs adhere. Transfer the eggplant pieces to a rack or to paper towels to let them dry slightly before frying.
- In a deep, heavy skillet heat 1/2-inch of vegetable oil to 375 degrees F. Fry the eggplant pieces, in batches if necessary, for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle lightly with salt before serving. Serve with marinara sauce, or as desired.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

DEEP-FRIED EGGPLANT
Steps:
- Peel eggplants and cut each crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Cut slices into sticks, each about 3/4 inch wide. There should be about 6 cups.
- Put egg in a large mixing bowl and add water, rosemary, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Beat well.
- Dip eggplant pieces in flour to coat well. Put pieces in egg mixture. Use fingers to coat pieces well.
- Put bread crumbs in a flat dish and put egg-coated eggplant pieces in. Toss to coat uniformly. Transfer eggplant to a flat dish.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or kettle to 375 degrees. Add half the eggplant pieces and cook 3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Drain thoroughly. Repeat, deep-frying with remaining eggplant. Serve hot.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CROUTONS
I found this recipe when I was watching my carbs. It was described as a substitute for salad croutons, and I think they would be great that way. But, I've also used them as a chip for hummus, and it is a great combination. By the way, Japanese eggplants are smaller skinny eggplants.

Steps:

- Lightly rinse each slice to remove excess salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Combine oil and paprika in a small frying pan.
- Oven medium-high heat, cook each slice on both sides until crips and browned, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
