Instructions
 

  • Lightly salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out bitterness. Pat dry.
  • In small separate bowls, mix the flour with salt and pepper, combine the beaten eggs with the milk, and mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan. Set up 3 shallow dishes. Place the seasoned flour in the first one, the beaten eggs and milk in the second, and the breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan in the third.
