Breaded Eggplant with Arugula and Parmesan image

Our vegetarian take on veal Milanese is both crisp and tender, with a flavor brightened by lemon. Salting the eggplant helps temper its bitterness.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large eggplant, cut lengthwise into 1-inch-thick slices
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water
2 cups panko or coarse homemade breadcrumbs
1 cup olive oil, for frying
2 cups baby arugula
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Arrange eggplant in a large colander and season generously with salt. Let stand 30 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.
  • Divide flour, egg mixture, and breadcrumbs among 3 shallow bowls. Dip each eggplant slice, turning to coat and shaking off excess, in the flour, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet (oil should be about 1/2-inch deep) over medium heat, and, working in batches, fry eggplant until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper.
  • Top each cutlet with arugula, Parmesan, and a squeeze of lemon.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I will try baking the eggplant slices next time instead of frying them.

So yummy! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and it gave the eggplant a nice crunchy texture.
