Wyatt's Cafeteria Eggplant image

This was my mother-in-law's favorite dish at Wyatt's. We had to travel out of town to the S&H Green Stamp Redemption Center and we would always have lunch at Wyatt's. She got this every time along with the Fish Almondine. I am posting this recipe in her memory.

I added a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the breading. It gave it a nice cheesy flavor.

I didn't have any bread crumbs on hand, so I used crushed crackers instead. It worked out great!

I think I overcooked the eggplant. It was a bit tough.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggplant didn't turn out crispy at all. It was more like mush.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I would have added more spices to the breading.

This recipe was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had baked the eggplant instead of frying it.
