➡️Ingredients:

* 1 large eggplant
* 2 eggs
* 2 cloves of garlic minced
* 150 g breadcrumbs from stale bread
* 130 g flour
* 50 g Parmesan cheese
* 1 tsp Italian herbs
* 1 tsp chili flakes
* 1 tsp smoked paprika
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 tsp black pepper
* Oil for frying
* Fresh basil leaves for garnish

➡️Instructions:

* In a blender, add the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chili flakes, Italian herbs, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika. Blend until well combined.
* In one plate, beat the eggs and mix with the minced garlic.
* In another plate, spread the flour.
* In a third plate, place the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
* Slice the eggplant lengthwise into thin slices.
* Pat the slices dry with a kitchen towel and sprinkle them with salt. Let them sit for a few minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry again.
* Dredge each eggplant slice in the flour, shaking off excess.
* Dip into the beaten egg mixture.
* Coat thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumbs.
* Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
