Keto Fried Eggplant Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil use as needed
- 2 eggplants
- salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups pecorino romano or parmesan
Instructions
- Remove skin before slicing, using a potato peeler. You can choose to leave skin on.
- Slice eggplant. I like it medium thick, about 1/2 inch if I'm baking it without stacking it.
- Sweat the eggplant. Lay out on cloth or paper towels and salt heavily on both sides. Use more cloth or paper towels to absorb the liquid.
- Make sure to wipe off salt with paper towels before dipping into egg.
- Beat 2 eggs. You may not need all, so beat more as you need them.
- Add salt and pepper into eggs.
- Heat about an inch of oil in frying pan.
- Dip into egg, then pecorino cheese and fry eggplant over medium heat.
- Season with sea salt.
- Eat as is or use for eggplant bruschetta, eggplant lasagna, etc.
Notes
I like grated pecorino romano, but you can use parmesan. Pecorino is a sheep's cheese. Parmesan is a cow cheese.
