Steps:
- Peel 2 small eggplants and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Put 1 cup flour in a shallow bowl, beat 4 eggs in another bowl and put 1 cup breadcrumbs in another. Coat the eggplant in flour, then egg (let any excess drip off), then breadcrumbs. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side (add more oil if necessary). Drain on a rack and sprinkle with salt.
THE BEST FRIED-EGGPLANT SANDWICH
In the spring of 2016, my most favorite sandwich was fried eggplant, mozzarella and roast beef on an Italian hero, with hot peppers and a slash of mayonnaise. I adapted the recipe from a sandwich served at Defonte's Sandwich Shop, on Columbia Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It is a beautiful torpedo of food, crunchy, silken, sweet and spicy all at once. You can certainly omit the roast beef to make it vegetarian or at any rate a little smaller, the sort of meal that offers satisfaction without hurting anyone, that delivers deliciousness at a lower cost to the body that consumes it. It is still a colossal feed. It is still the best sandwich.

Steps:
- Line a large, rimmed sheet pan with paper towels. Trim stem end from eggplants, then peel and discard skin. Using a knife or a mandoline, slice the eggplant lengthwise into 3/16-inch-thick slabs. Arrange eggplant in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides of eggplant with salt. Let stand for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Pat eggplant dry with paper towels, and stack on a plate.
- Discard the wet paper towels, and replace them in the sheet pan with more, then place a wire rack on top. In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmery. Working in batches, fry the eggplant slabs until just tender, approximately 30 to 40 seconds per side. Transfer fried eggplant to rack to drain. Remove skillet from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and grated Parmesan. Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat until the oil is hot again.
- Working in batches, dip drained eggplant into egg batter, then fry in oil until puffed, lightly golden and cooked through, approximately 2 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer fried eggplant to rack to drain. You can cook the eggplant in advance of assembling sandwiches. Covered, it will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, though the eggplant is best at room temperature.
- Assemble sandwiches. Cut the hero rolls open, then spread each one with mayonnaise. Layer the slices of eggplant onto the bread in equal portions, and top with equal portions of the mozzarella and the sliced roast beef. Add slices of hot cherry peppers to taste, fold the sandwich together and serve.

OVEN FRIED EGGPLANT
This is a healthier way to make fried eggplant. I think it tastes as good as the old deep-fried way. Use these to make Italian Eggplant or any other recipes that calls for it. Makes great Eggplant Grinders or just to pick up and eat with your fingers with a little salt.

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.
DEEP-FRIED EGGPLANT

- 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.

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.
