Steps

  1. 1

    Slice eggplant into 1 cm (0.4-inch) slices. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle them with salt. Allow them to sit for 30 minutes to render some of their liquid and bitterness.

  2. 2

    After 30 minutes wash eggplant slices from salt and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl or plate, place breadcrumbs and sesame seeds. In another bowl beat eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.

  5. 5

    Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in crumbs, and place in hot oil. Fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
