INGREDIENTS
•
2 eggplants
•
2 cups flour
•
5 eggs
•
½ cup grated parmesan cheese (You don’t have to use expensive stuff here. I use the inexpensive parmesan cheese that you can find in the can at the grocery store. We call that “shaky cheese.” I use nicer parmesan as a finishing step.)

•
Canola oil (You could use olive oil, but that can give it a heavy flavor, and is probably an unnecessarily expensive use of olive oil. If you like the flavor of olive oil, use could use mostly canola oil, and add in a few glugs of olive oil for flavor.)
•
Salt and Pepper
