Possibilities - Eggplant Hoagie Recipe
I have been quite a gypsy in my life to date. At one point I lived and worked in Mt. Shasta, a gorgeous part of the World, with lots of spiritual community seeking enlightenment, not a bad thing to be around. One of my jobs was working at a restaurant that opened all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Their Eggplant Hoagie was a favorite with customers. Here’s my very-close-to-theirs recipe.
Ingredients:
2 medium eggplants (aubergines in UK)
1 cup all purpose flour
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Italian dry seasoning
1 teaspoon rosemary garlic dry seasoning
4 eggs
olive oil for frying
salt and pepper to taste
6 buttered open French Bread rolls
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup pesto sauce
6 thin slices of parmesan Gouda cheese (Costco’s is lovely)
Olive oil for drizzle
Fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Slice the eggplants into 1/2” or less slices
Season each slice and set aside on a rack to drain for 30 mins
Preheat oven to 250
warm the eggplant in the oven to dry a little and remove after 20 mins
Place the flour in a dish
Place the panko, Italian, rosemary garlic dry seasonings combined in a dish
In a third dish - whisk eggs with salt and pepper and a tablespoon of water
Plop the eggplant slices first in the flour, covering and then shaking off excess
Then move the eggplant to the egg, shake off the excess
Then drop the eggplant immediately into the panko breadcrumbs.
Set aside.
Heat up the griddle on medium heat
Add olive oil to coat and place each eggplant on.
Fry for about 5 -10 mins each side to golden
Add more olive oil with each batch
Place the eggplants on a tray and season with salt and pepper
Clean griddle and olive oil it again
Place the buttered French bread butter side down on the griddle to brown
MMMMMMMMMM… This Rocks!!
