Yum I love eggplant, infact we just had some last night and I'll be cooking up the rest tonight!





I slice mine into thin round circles, dip them in eggs and then into cracker crumbs. I then fry them in veggie oil until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towel and add salt and pepper.





Another way I like to eat eggplant, but takes a little more time is to: cut into thin strips lengthwise. Brush each side with olive oil and use a grill pan, grill until it is nice and tender and can be easily rolled. I then put a layer of thinly sliced tomatoes and feta cheese and sometimes proscuitto. I roll them up, put a toothpick through to hold its shape and then bake them in the oven at 350 degrees until the tomatoes are soft.
Eggplant is breaded and fried then topped with sauce and cheese and baked, in this Eggplant Parmesan recipe.
