Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Prepare the eggplant by slicing it into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or tray. Sprinkle both sides of the eggplant slices with salt to draw out excess moisture. Let the eggplant sit for 30 minutes to allow the salt to work its magic.
2
Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten eggs, coating both sides evenly. Then, roll the eggplant slices in the breadcrumbs to coat. Place the breaded eggplant slices on a plate or tray.
3
Heat about 1/2 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add a few of the breaded eggplant slices to the skillet (do not overcrowd). Fry the eggplant slices until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices.
4
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom half of the sub roll. Add a few slices of fried eggplant, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and a few leaves of fresh basil. Top with the top half of the sub roll.
