Eggplant Parmesan

Found a great new recipe here last week for Eggplant Parmesan. We received the most amazing Eggplant from http://www.freshconnectkc.com/ last week. Oh how Mr. Miller and I LOVE Eggplant. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! This is so super easy and does not take much time at all. I of course made it GF but you can use regular flour and that would be the only change you would have to make!

1 large Eggplant

1/2 C GF flour of your choice

1 tsp Onion Powder

1 tsp Garlic Salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1/2 tsp Ground Sage

2 Eggs

Cameron always wants to help in the kitchen. He is great at crushing Corn Flakes. Why buy the crumbs when it takes 2 minutes to crush them in the bag and plus occupies a child for a brief moment. Bliss I tell you!

Corn Flake breading mix.

Look at these Eggplant sweat or I should say "glow" out that extra moisture!

Just 2 -3 minutes on each side in Olive Oil, remember low to medium heat it is not a race!

Dinner is Served!

This meal should serve 6 very easily. We are a family of 4 and one is still not up to this fare yet so that meant lunch on Saturday too!
