Fried Eggplant (Aubergine)

spatchcock's Note:

An adopted recipe I've not tried. Here's hwat the OP says about it: "Very easy fried eggplant. Just like shake n' bake!My husband really likes this recipe. He says it's the best fried eggplant he ever had. Easy to make this "parmesan" by adding sauce, mozzerella and baking. Very cheap too!! One SMALL eggplant feeds 6!"

Just an FYI, I have almost the exact same recipe and if you want to make it low fat you can also bake them in the oven. Either way, they're delish!

My family loves eggplant. As soon as my sons return from scout camp, I'll make this for them with canned speg. sauce and mozzerela cheese melted on top. Thanks for a new eggplant recipe.

DH went to the farmers market and brought home an eggplant. I wasnt sure how to prepare it so I found your recipe. We loved it, kids included. Thank you for sharing this repeater recipe with us.
