Eggplant something:
Ingredients:
1 Eggplant
2 egg whites (I used X-Large)
1/3 cup of milk
Salt & Pepper
Cornstarch
Oil to fry in
Mild pork sausage
Shredded parmesan cheese
White onion
Ricotta cheese
Fresh tomatoes
Shredded Mozzarella cheese
Tomato sauce
1 Eggplant, skinned & slice so you have 1/2" thick rounds.
Separate 2 x-large eggs & ditch the yolks, you only want the whites. Whisk them until frothy & then add about 1/3 cup milk & whisk.
Cornstarch, peppered & salted & mixed up.
Heat some oil in a fry pan & dip the eggplant in the milk/egg white mixture, then coat with the cornstarch. Then place the slices in the fry pan & fry them till brown. Remove onto a paper plate ---- NO paper towels on it. Lay them so they rest on the ridge of the paper plate & not flat or they will be all sweaty. Let cool.
Line a pan with tin foil, greased.
Lay the eggplant on the pan.
Crumble MILD pork sausage on the eggplant.
Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese -- not too much now!
Slice some white onion paper thin & you can cut them in fourths & sprinkle them over the sausage.
Put Ricotta cheese over this. Again, not a ton, just thin dollops.
Sprinkle a bit more shredded parmesan cheese on top.
Slice fresh tomatoes, not too thick but not paper thin either & place on top.
Shredded Mozzarella goes next --- use your judgement, however much you like or don't like.
Spoon tomato sauce on top. Don't go nuts with it. You don't want to completely cover it with tomato sauce.
I baked mine @ 350 degrees in a convection oven for 30 minutes.
