  • This Italian Breaded Baked Eggplant Recipe is fast, easy and delicious, but what I appreciate most is how many ways I can use these baked eggplant slices. Of course the best way is to make eggplant parmesan, however, there is also the eggplant roasted pepper hero and just a simple spaghetti topped with the Italian Breaded Baked Eggplant and some tomato sauce. How about as a pizza toping or some sauteed spinach sandwiched between 2 slices of eggplant. The possibilities are endless!

    Years ago I had Sophia Loren's recipe for frying eggplant, it was published in a magazine. Chef Dan, your recipe is very similar to hers, She peeled the eggplant, cut it thicker, used seasoned breadcrumbs, etc. the only real difference (that I remember) is you baked this instead of frying. I'm making this your way today. Baking is healthier. than frying...and easier.

    what could you use instead of egg? (vegan)

    • @chefdanalmostvegan
      @chefdanalmostvegan  3 года назад +1

      😃 First, Thanks for the comment. Sometimes I will use water. This makes the bred coating a lot thinner, which makes the eggplant less carbs and less fat, and vegan. The trade-off is the eggplant won't have that crunch from the breadcrumbs, or as much of that toasted breadcrumb flavor. Depends on how I intend to use the eggplant. If I am putting the eggplant on a sandwich, then I will use water because I will get the "Breadcrumb" character in the bread of the sandwich. 😁

      😁Most of my videos come with an ingredient list below the video. Some videos, like the breaded eggplant one is all about technique, so there is no written recipe. The idea is to use the eggplant in your own recipe. There is a recipe coming out in September, Eggplant cannelloni, which used the baked eggplant in an interesting way. Otherwise, use this eggplant in any way you would use a cooked eggplant.
      Thank you for your question. Let me know if I can be of any more help.👍

    Perfect recipe except one thing....To get the best flavor, salt the eggplant slices first and squeeze the bitter juice after 30 minutes...And then dry grill both sides of each slice with no oil or anything before crumbing. The eggplant is then fully cooked before crumbing. Try this and you will always do it this way.

    • @chefdanalmostvegan

      😁😁I like the idea of salting and grilling the eggplant. That would bring more flavor to the dish. It's a lot more work, and I don't know if it's worth it. Also by cooking the eggplant twice, it may dry out a bit. Maybe salting and grilling the eggplant should replace the breading and baking altogether . That would lower the carbs also. Thank you for the comment, and for the cooking tip.👍👍

      @@chefdanalmostvegan Thank you. If you dry grill the eggplant it will be 1000% better. Trust me. Keep the breading method but not with the raw eggplant. Just try it. Grill it with no oil or any other ingredients after you have salted it and the bitter juice is expelled. Just try it once. It is like eating crumbed veal.
