In preparation for Hannah's birthday celebration, we made fried eggplant.
Eggplant in the garden basket. This is a Japanese eggplant. I had wanted to get seeds for the bigger Italian eggplant, but they weren't available when I needed them. In the end, we were glad for the smaller eggplant...it just takes more.
Slice 1/2" thick.
Dip in milk, then in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper.
Dip in egg, then seasoned breadcrumbs. We made ours.
Fry in oil. Drain on paper towel. Salt, if desired. Serve on a platter with Marinara Sauce and pretend you are at the Olive Garden--only it's better and cheaper! :*)
We will freeze some to have on hand for 'special meals' as an appetizer.

Very nice photos - and 'pretty' eggplant. The recipe sounds very tasty - too bad I've never acquired a taste for eggplant. But then - have never had Japanese eggplant. Maybe an appetizer taste for lunch next trip down there???
Love and Hugs for all,
M/N
We can do that...we could even bring some for your birthday, if that happens first!
Love you, Mom!
