Ingredients
For about 4 portions:
2 medium-sized eggplants

2 eggs
1 teaspoon sweet paprika (optional)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil to taste (for brushing)
Instructions
Prepare the eggplants:
Wash the eggplants and cut them into slices about 1 cm thick. Arrange them on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt. Let them rest for 15-20 minutes to eliminate the excess water. Then pat dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Prepare the ingredients for the breading:
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the parmesan, oregano and paprika.
Bread the aubergines:
Dip each slice of aubergine first in the egg, making sure it is completely covered, and then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to make the breading stick.
