Ingredients

1 medium eggplant, whole, sliced 1/8-inch thick

3 large eggs, beaten slightly

2 cups cornflake crumbs

1 cup grated romano cheese

1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

1. Peel eggplant and slice 1/8 inch thick.

2. Whip eggs together and place in a shallow bowl for an egg wash.

3. Mix cornflake crumbs and romano cheese together in a shallow container and dredge eggplant slices in it.

4. Put enough olive oil in a hot skillet to coat the bottom about 1/16 inch deep. Adjust to medium high heat.

5. Fry eggplant slices, turning frequently, until golden brown and crispy. Remove to paper towel to drain. Cover with second paper towel and add layers of eggplant as needed.

6. Place eggplant in a preheated 350 degree oven for a few minutes to crispen and degrease them. Remove and serve immediately.

This sounds great! I love Egg Plant..and trying to get my daughter to get interested in it..this might help. I'm going to try this with some good sauce...thank you..I'll report back..

Often you will only find Romano/Parmesan Cheese mix at the grocery. If you grate your own then that is not a problem. One thing to remember, both Parmesan and Romano when cooked become the "stinky feet" cheeses. So keep the air spray handy and the doors open. LOL.

Panko sounds like a good alternative. I've done it with old bread crumbs too. Bring on the changes, I'll be more than happy to try them.

I have just been given several eggplants and am trying to turn my family onto eating them... I know they love anything battered and fried. Thanks!!

I've got another one out there for Scalloped Eggplant. Another subterfuge to get the family past the idea. LOL. Eggplant has a checkered reputation, kinda like Okra.

Now, back home in Pennsylvania Dutch country...we make'em with 4C brand bread crumbs, because they already have 4 cheeses in the crumbs, (hence the name 4C). My mom used to slice the eggplant as thin as possible...so thin you could almost see through them...then a short soak in some salted water...then into the egg and then the bread crumbs. Mmmmmm. That's what I'm talkin' about!
