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.

Steps:
- Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick slices. Line two large sheet trays with paper towels and lay the slices on top in a single layer. Season with a light sprinkle of salt all over both sides of the eggplant. Set aside for 45 minutes, then pat each slice dry with a paper towel.
- Meanwhile, place the flour on a plate. In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another wide, shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Working 2 to 3 eggplant slices at a time, dredge in the flour to coat completely, dip in the egg mixture, then coat in the panko breadcrumb mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 200°.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet filled with about 1/4-inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Heat until very hot (about 350 degrees). Working in batches, cook 4 to 5 slices of eggplant in a single layer until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the oil and transfer to a wire rack set over a sheet tray (or a sheet tray lined with paper towels). Hold the fried eggplant warm in the oven. Continue to fry the eggplant slices, adding more oil as needed to the skillet.
- Sprinkle with parsley and season with salt to taste. Serve alongside marinara sauce if you like.
EXCELLENT FRIED EGGPLANT
Having a garden and growing fresh food is a must for our family. We got lucky and had a great harvest of eggplant last year which prompted me to find ways to cook it. Not wanting to use someone else's, I tried several times until I came up with something my family likes. This is even KID friendly and has great taste...especially with white meat meals.

Steps:
- In large skillet put in enough oil (about 1/8 inch deep.)and preheat too medium high.
- In separate bowl mix egg and milk thoroughly.
- In another bowl mix together remaining dry ingredients.
- Slice eggplant 1/4 thick and dip in milk/egg.
- Dip in dry ingredients and coat both sides.
- Place in skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes each side, checking to make sure they get golden brown.
- You will need to add a little oil each time. When the crumbs in the skillet start getting too much or burning, remove before starting next batch of eggplant.
- Place on separate plate covered with paper towel until ready to serve to remove excess oil.
- SPECIAL NOTE: For a little added extra flavor, use bacon grease instead of oil.
- SPECIAL NOTE: If you want a little something to jazz these up a little and are having a salad, dip them in some Ranch Dressing. I have a scratch recipe that goes great with it.
