Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dry basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Slice eggplant into 1/2" slices and set on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let stand for 1 hour. Blot eggplant with paper towel to remove any water that has come out.
  • Preheat oven to 450F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Brush the parchment paper with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Prepare the dredge in 3 shallow dishes: In one shallow dish, add the flour. In a second dish, whisk the 2 eggs. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, basil, oregano and salt.
  • Dip each eggplant slice in the flour to coat it, then the egg and then finally dip it into the dish with breadcrumbs, flipping to ensure it is coated on both sides. Arrange the breaded eggplant onto the baking sheets and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
