Breading Success!!

I had a successful breading experience! This weekend I was at my parent's house and my dad and I made eggplant (parmigiana). His had cheese but mine, of course, did not. It was inspired by the same Throwdown with Bobby Flay that had inspired me the last time to try breading eggplant. This time, it worked!! And I used no eggs! In fact, mine came out better than my dad's. His eggplant burned a little when he fried it, I guess because of the egg.

So here is what I did. First, I salted the eggplant. Then I rinsed it. Then, I coated it in flour. With a light coating of flour, I dipped it in soymilk. Then I coated it with breadcrumbs. Then it went back into the soymilk and I coated it again with breadcrumbs. Double dipping!

It came out great and the breading really stuck to it.

Success!!!
(sorry, there are no pictures because I wasn't expecting such success and I was at my parents without my camera)
