Our eggplants are coming in really good now in our garden.  I love just plain old fried eggplant long with other dishes I make.  When I fry then, I just roll them in a little flour and cornmeal.  I fry them in olive oil with just a little margarine in the oil.  That makes them brown really good.  Sometimes I add parmesan cheese to the flour mixture and them top the eggplant with marinara sauce with a little mozzarella cheese on top.  I usually slice the eggplant thicker when I do that than I do when I just fry it.  Anyway, eggplant is one of our families favorites.
