Egg plant anyone?

I seem to have a pile of eggplant growing in the garden. Ive never eaten any and I’m not sure if I want to try. If you’re in the area you can have some. I may be interested in trying a recipe if you have a good one…

Wish you were a little closer, egg plant is one of the finest eating veggies in the garden.

Slice up about 1/2 inch thick. Salt well and let it sit in a collander for a couple hours to drain. Egg wash and bread in bread crumbs with itialian seasoning. Pan fry and serve with marinara sauce and parmesian cheese.

Also if you like mediterranian food-google Baba Ganoush.

First time I grew eggplants this year. Below is what we have been doing with them. The last 2 are going into a eggplant soup but I will not post that recipe until I know who it turns out.

small eggplant
1 beaten egg
½ c Italian bread crumbs
2 tbsp cooking oil
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
Spaghetti sauce

Peel eggplant and cut into ½ inch think slices
Dip eggplant into egg then into bread crumbs
In large skillet cook eggplant in hot oil for 4-6 minutes till golden brown. Turning once.

Drain on paper towels.
Preheat oven to 400
Place eggplant slices in a single layer. In a baking dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Top with Spaghetti sauce and mozzarella

Bake 10-12 minutes or till hot

The great thing about egg plant is it is like a sponge, You can make it taste like whatever you like.

I LOVE eggplant. Definitely peel it before you cook it.

Cut into 1/2″ slices, dip in egg, then flour to fry using a generous amount of salt to season it. Goes great with Italian food, steak, ribs, etc.

I do the egg wash thing but I use seasoned cracker crumbs to bread mine and brown. Then I layer in a baking dish using pasta sauce to cover and a layer of onions and shredded cheese of your choice. My family loved it. Try it you will like it

My wife fries it up and it smells better than fried fish.

Thanks guys. Sounds like you treat it like zucchini? I like anything fried so I’ll give it a try. Maybe in spagetti or lasagna.
