Fried Eggplant Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Eggplant

   Slice the eggplants into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

3. 3

   Bread the Eggplant

   Dip each eggplant slice first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Fry the Eggplant

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded eggplant slices in batches, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried eggplant from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Season with additional salt if desired and serve hot.
