11 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs or 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup sunflower oil or 1/2 cup canola oil
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    In large skillet put in enough oil (about 1/8 inch deep.)and preheat too medium high.
  2. 2
    In separate bowl mix egg and milk thoroughly.
  3. 3
    In another bowl mix together remaining dry ingredients.
  4. 4
    Slice eggplant 1/4 thick and dip in milk/egg.
  5. 5
    Dip in dry ingredients and coat both sides.
  6. 6
    Place in skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes each side, checking to make sure they get golden brown.
  7. 7
    You will need to add a little oil each time. When the crumbs in the skillet start getting too much or burning, remove before starting next batch of eggplant.
  8. 8
    Place on separate plate covered with paper towel until ready to serve to remove excess oil.
  9. 9
    SPECIAL NOTE: For a little added extra flavor, use bacon grease instead of oil.
  10. 10
    SPECIAL NOTE: If you want a little something to jazz these up a little and are having a salad, dip them in some Ranch Dressing. I have a scratch recipe that goes great with it.
