He says it's the best fried eggplant he ever had. Easy to make this "parmesan" by adding sauce, mozzerella and baking. Very cheap too!! One SMALL eggplant feeds 6!"

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.
ULTIMATE FRIED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
This recipe appeared in Gourmet about 15 years ago, and I've adapted it slightly. It's just amazing how the cornstarch eliminates the greasiness without diminishing the flavor at all. This is the basic version, but you can definitely jazz it up by adding Italian seasonings, grated Parmesan, etc. I never bother 'sweating' the eggplant when preparing it this way, but you may prefer to.

Steps:
- Beat egg in a small bowl along with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Put cornstarch in a second small bowl and breadcrumbs in a third.
- Cut eggplant crosswise into slices approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- (If you prefer thinner slices, that will work fine, but you may need additional cornstarch and bread crumbs to get everything coated well.) Dredge each slice in cornstarch, coating thoroughly on both sides.
- Tap gently against the side of the bowl to knock off excess.
- Dip eggplant in beaten egg, coating each side lightly but thoroughly.
- Dredge in crumbs, pressing firmly enough that the breading sticks.
- Allow coated eggplant to dry briefly on paper towels.
- Pour enough oil in a heavy skillet to cover slices about halfway.
- Heat to 375 degrees.
- Fry eggplant for one to two minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt.

SPICY STIR-FRIED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
Eggplant is so full of nutrients and is a very filling vegetable as well - great for people who are just getting used to a vegetarian diet and who are missing the 'chunky' texture of meat in a dish. This makes either a very nice vegetarian/vegan main dish or a nice side to compliment an East Indian or Middle Eastern main dish.
