Breading meal |

Directions
Mix sesame seeds and yeast flakes into breading meal. You can peel the
eggplant or just wash it and cut it with the skin on. Slice eggplant
into slices 1/3" thick; dip in soy milk. Dip eggplant slices into breading meal.
Fry in olive oil until tender or bake on oiled flat dish, turning
once, until tender.
Variations
After frying, you may want to put the eggplant in a baking dish and
spoon on various toppings such as a nondairy or low-fat shredded
cheese. Bake long enough to melt the cheese.
If you like tomatoes, spoon on spaghetti sauce. Cut olives in
circles and place them on top for decorations. Bake until hot.
To add protein, smash tofu with a fork. Mix it with a little salt
and seasoning if desired, and spread it on top of the eggplant. Then
add the spaghetti sauce and olive slices. Bake until hot (10-15
minutes). Serve on a platter with sprigs of parsley and cherry
tomatoes for a garnish.
