1 Eggplant
1 Egg; beaten
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
Cornstarch
Fat for deep frying
Slice eggplant. Dip into egg (mixed with
salt and pepper), then into cornstarch, seeing to
it that it's well covered. Fry to a deep rich
brown; drain on brown paper. Eggplant cooked this
way will be found very delicate and digestible.

I have two. One is for 'fried eggplant' with NOTHING on it, and the other is for 'breaded eggplant.
Plain fried eggplant
Slice your eggplant into 1/3 inch slices and set aside.
Heat just enough oil (Canola is best) to cover the bottom of the fry pan. When it 'sizzles' when you put a drop of water in, it's hot enough. Drop the slices in singly, so they don't touch each other, and let them fry for about 3-4 minutes, then flip them over and fry the other side for about 2-3 minutes. Take out of the fry pan and place on a cookie sheet covered with paper towels to drain, then place on a plate in a warm oven until the whole eggplant is cooked.
The 'breaded' eggplant is basically the same, but increase the frying time on both sides by 2 minutes, and use the following 'breading' method ... dip in milk, then egg whipped with milk then bread crumbs. Fry.
They are both YUMMY, but my husband makes eggplant without 'frying' it ...
Peel the whole eggplant, and cut in half from the stem to the end. Lay on the flat side on a sheet and place it in a HOT oven (450-500) and bake for 30-45 minutes. If you don't want to peel it, bake for an hour. The result is 'roasted eggplant' that you can 'mash' with roasted garlic to make a wonderful dip ... if it's too strong tasting you may add some plain yogurt for a 'cooler' flavor ... it's also very YUMMY.

Eggplant sticks
Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch sticks, sprinkle with salt and set aside for ten minutes. Pat the eggplant dry with paper towels. Dip into a beaten egg then roll in Italian seasoned bread crumbs. Deep fry until golden brown.
My family loves these.
