Oven-fried Eggplant

[QSis]

I LOVE eggplant and I have a lot of Japanese eggplants.

I HATE frying and am always looking for different recipes to "oven-fry" stuff.

Tried this one today, doctored up both the mayo mixture and the bread crumb mixture with a little Frank's hot sauce and cajun seasoning, respectively. Pretty good, and a lot easier than frying.

I think I'm going to top a homemade pizza with some of this and some homemade pesto and homegrown tomatoes tonight.

Gardeners, isn't eating your harvest the BEST??

P.S. I've noticed that eggplant is only really photogenic when it's raw and/or stuffed.

Ooo! I have all those things, bt! I will do that on my pizza! Thanks!

And thanks to everyone else for all the fun comments and compliments!

I just came back from an hour in the woods, going mushrooming, and came back empty-handed.

Dagnabbit*, if it HAS to be this hot and humid, there SHOULD be mushrooms! I'll try again tomorrow.

*I'm pretty sure that I've never used that word before, but since one can't use the appropiate swear words here, that will have to do.
