This is one of my favorite foods in the entire world. 1st reason, it’s a fried. 2nd reason,  it’s a simple process. I don’t even have a recipe for it, but I’ll try to give it a step by step here.

1. Cut your eggplant in thin slices. Leave the skin on.
2. Salt each slice and let sit so that they sweat out moisture.
3. 2 bowls. One for flour seasoned with salt and pepper. The other with 2 eggs and milk (quite a bit so it’s soupy)
4. Heat oil in the pan. I like to fry in a lot of oil so I don’t have to keep adding to it.
5. Dip slice in egg mixture, then flour to coat, then back in egg, and back to flour. This gives it a nice crust.
6. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. It won’t take long.
6. Set on rack to drain oil.

The great thing about friend eggplant is that you can use it as a side dish or you can layer it with spaghetti, eggplant, red sauce, then mozzarella cheese! Throw into oven until warm and serve!

Great! After typing all of this out I think I need to make it again tomorrow!
