Aubergines with Parmesan Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium aubergines, sliced into rounds
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F)
2. Season the sliced aubergines with salt and pepper.
3. Fill a shallow bowl with flour. Dip the aubergine slices into the flour and dust off any excess.
4. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
5. Dip the floured aubergine slices into the beaten eggs, then into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat each slice evenly with the mixture.
6. In a large non-stick pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the aubergine slices in batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
7. Place the browned aubergine slices in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy and cooked through.
8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
