Ingredients:

Serving

2 medium eggplants, peeled and cut crosswise (i cut 1/4-1/2 inch wide)
1 tbsp kosher salt ( i use less a bout a tsp)
4 cups breadcrumbs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground pepper
4 large eggs, beaten
6 tbsp vegetable oil (i've used olive, too)

Directions:

Start by draining the eggplant: layer sliced eggplant with gentle sprinkle of salt in a colander and place a plate or lid on top). The eggplant will leak out about 2 tbs. of moisture (about a half hour-sometimes I just do set it about 15 minutes and that seems to work, too).
I lightly wipe excess salt off with damp paper towel.
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare cookie sheet/jelly roll pan with half the oil and heat in oven while dipping/breading the eggplant.
Mix together flour and pepper and put in large Zip-lock bag.
Mix Parmesan and bread crumbs and put in pie plate.
Dipping process:.
Place about 10 slices at a time in flour and shake to coat lightly.
Dip eggplant in beaten egg (I use a cereal bowl to dip).
Dredge in bread crumb mixture.
Line, without overlapping, eggplant onto cookie sheet.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes until bottoms are lightly browned, and flip and finish cooking the other side.
Repeat with remaining eggplant.
Remove and cool on a wire rack.
