Fried Eggplant Parmesan


You will need: To start
1Fresh Eggplant
1 cup Flour
4-5 Eggs, beaten
salt and pepper, to taste
fry oil

Slice eggplant and slice into very thin slices.  In large bowl crack and beat eggs (add little water to thin out).  In another large bowl or dish (I like a dish with a lip on it), add flour.  In large skillet heat fry oil on medium.
Dip slices of eggplant into egg wash, then into flour coating on both sides.  Places into hot oil, repeat.  Season before turning eggplant over to fry opposite side.  When both sides are browned remove from pan and drain onto paper towels to soak up excess oil from eggplant.  Continue frying other slices.

Fried eggplant can be layered into baking dish with cheeses and tomato sauce.  Start with sauce on bottom of baking dish, layer of fried eggplant, season with salt, pepper and grated cheese.  Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese before adding second layer of eggplant.  I like two layers of eggplant with mozzarella between them before adding more sauce to another layer.
So your layers will be built like this in your baking dish:
Sauce
eggplant
cheeses and seasonings
eggplant

eggplant
