Step 3: Flatten & coat each eggplant
- cooked eggplant
- egg mixture
Add the cooked eggplant to the egg mixture on the plate. Using a fork, gently smoosh the eggplant meat until it has completely flattened. Keep the eggplant intact, however. The flattened meat should have a wide, bulbous shape, and pick up a lot of the egg mixture.
- Transfer the flattened eggplant by the stem to the hot pan, making sure to lay it flat.
