Ingredients
- 2 medium Small eggplants (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/4 cup Dried bread crumbs (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on a plate or baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Let them drain for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. This helps prevent the eggplant from becoming soggy during broiling.
- 2Preheat your broiler. Pat the eggplant slices dry with a paper towel. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet. Season with pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, ensuring each slice is lightly coated.
- 3Sprinkle the eggplant slices with dried bread crumbs. Broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
