Super easy

1 eggplant
mayonaisse
seasoned Italian bread crumbs
1 slice provolone or mozzarella cheese (optional)

Healthy “Fried” Eggplant Directions

Cut an Italian variety eggplant into ¼-inch medallions.

Liberally spread mayonnaise on both sides of each medallion.

Press medallions on both sides with seasoned Italian bread crumbs.

Place on cookie sheet. Put under broiler for about 5 minutes.

Flip medallions and return to broiler for another 5 minutes. Times are approximate. When bread crumbs turn brown and mayonnaise begins to slightly bubble, it is time to flip or remove completely from broiler.

If desired, you can add a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese during the last 30 to 45 seconds of cooking.

You can eat this as a side dish or use for eggplant Parmigiana. A similar process with cornmeal or flour will work great for “fried” green tomatoes.
