QuantityIngredient
Oil; For Baking Tray
1largeJapanese Eggplant; Abt 1 1/2 Lbs Total
½cupNonfat Milk; Or 1% Low Fat
1cupFine Dry Breadcrumbs
1teaspoonDried Basil
1teaspoonDried Dill
¼teaspoonDried Thyme
Paprika; For Garnish
Minced Fresh Parsley; For Garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 deg F. Lightly oil a baking tray. (I used a nonstick teflon baking insert - so I didn't use any oil.) Slice the eggplant very thin (no more then ¼"). If using Japanese eggplant omit the salting. Salt slices and let stand 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

Place milk in 1 bowl, combine bread crumbs and herbs in another.

Dip eggplant slices in milk, dredge in crumbs and arrange on tray.

Bake 20 - 30 minutes until eggplant is crisp on outside and tender on inside (test with fork).

To Serve: Place several slices of eggplant on each plate and spoon sauce (of your choice) on top. Sprinkle with paprika and minced fresh parsley.

This was very good...but you have to be ready to sit right down and eat them...I don't think they will re-heat well.
