"Hey I'm starving, I'm gonna go have some eggplant"... said no one ever, right? Wrong! Thin sliced, breaded eggplant makes for a killer side dish or an addicting snack. This recipe might just have you picking up an eggplant instead of a bag of chips.

ingredients
1 small eggplant, cut into 1/4" slices
1/4 cup milk or egg white
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
2 tablespoons oil
1/3 cup water
directions
In medium bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt and pepper.
In separate bowl, dip each slice of eggplant in the milk and immediately dunk into breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly on each side.
When all slices are breaded, heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add eggplant slices and brown briefly on both sides, 1-2 minutes. (The oil will be absorbed and the pan will soon be dry.)
Add water and cover with a lid, lowering the heat for the remaining cooking time, 5-7 minutes.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

So I haven't made this yet but here is what I plan to do when I do. Let the eggplant sweat and pat dry before dredging and coating. Instead of water use marinara sauce and after it simmers a bit, top with mozzarella until cheese is melted. Eggplant parmesan.

Quick and easy just as the recipe says. Very tasty. The only thing is....you will probably end up adding a bit more oil as it does dry up quite quickly. Not only will I make this again, I might try adding some different spices to plain bread crumbs next time.

My first eggplant recipe, worked nicely, earned compliments from my wife. Not having (and not wanting to use) the "canned & powdered" Parmesan cheese apparently indicated, I sprinkled freshly grated Romano cheese on the eggplant during the last few minutes in the skillet.
Not sure how you think this calls for the canned parmesan? Usually recipes that call for it are pretty specific and mention it by name since it's not really a good product to use in cooking.
