    My husband and I put sour cream and parmesan on these. Delicious! I like the fresh basil idea and baking them. I will try both next time.

    Very tasty! Grandma has a garden full of eggplants, so I've been searching for a great recipe. This was a hit! Instead of eggs, I used buttermilk, and it came out just as great! I also added parm cheese to the breadcrumbs and topped it all with vodka sauce! Hubby loved it, and so did I. Can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow, lol.

    I usually bake my breaded eggplant, instead I decided to fry them. Wow, did my family go bonkers for this. I started with regular bread crumbs and added my own Italian seasoning. There were three of us and we ate two eggplants. I made sauce and spaghetti to go with this dish. Next time I won't bother with the noodles. Garnished with fresh basil. Mmmm. Will make my eggplant like this from now on.

    That was great. My wife and son loved them, I brought them to work and they loved it too. I did use three times the essence, I made three of them, and freezed the rest. works great just put them on a baking sheet about 400 20min nice and crispy again. thanks

    Wow! These are SO good. I made these about four or five times now. So nice and crispy on the outside. I used to buy these at Sam's Club, but now I can make them on my own. I love dipping them in marinara sauce and crunching down on these tasty eggplant slices.

    So good! I've made it multiple times now & it is part of our regular dinner rotation. I always use double of the Essence seasoning & one eggplant is all we need to feed a family of four. Talk about an economical recipe in hard times, this is a no-brainer recipe to have! I also have paired this up with chicken drumsticks on my Foreman grill. The family pulls the chicken off the bone and mixes it into the eggplant. Topped with sauce and either mozarella or parmesan this is a filling meal!

    Perfect. I didn't salt the eggs (because I forgot to, but I did not find the flavor lacking in this DELICIOUS dish! We loved it! It reminded me so much of my mother's that I really see no need to try other similar recipes (my mother was from the Mediterranean coast. Oh, and because I didn't realize I was out of breakcrumbs (! I used crushed up original (yellow box Cheerios and found they worked quite well.

    I used a Chinese eggplant so the medallions would be smaller and better suited as a finger food. It was crispy, yummy, perfection!

    The eggplant slices came out perfect. I layered them on toasted ciabatta bread with fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, basil and a garlic mayo, delicious!
