Servings: persons

2 medium eggplants, peeled
3 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons water
2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (for a less intense flavor reduce to 1/2 teaspoon)

1
Cut the peeled eggplant into about 1/2-inch thick slices.
2
In a shallow bowl whisk eggs with water.
3
In another shallow bowl combine breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, seasoned salt and black pepper.
4
Heat about 3/4 to 1-inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (the oil should be hot before adding in the slices).
5
Dip the eggplant slices firstly into the egg mixture, then coat both sides with breadcrumb mixture.
6
Place the slices into the hot oil and fry only until light golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side (after frying one eggplant you may need to add in more oil to the skillet).
