Our fave way for eggplant, also. Oh my, it is so buttery delicious...with just a bit of crunch. We even dress it sometimes with sour cream...maybe even some horseradish. But I salt and let some of the water drain onto paper towels before cooking. I dust with flour, dip in egg wash, and I prefer crushed saltines for the final coating. We just love that veggie!
