Eggplant Sandwich Minis

• 1 Opus Eggplant
• 1 egg
• 2 T. milk
• bread crumb coating
• olive oil for frying

Cut eggplant into 1/4" thick slices and trim them to 3" in diameter. To make breadcrumb coating, place the following in a food processor: 1/2 C. plain breadcrumbs, 1/4 C. Parmesan cheese, 1 T. flour, 3 cloves of garlic, 3 T. fresh herbs (thyme, oregano chives etc.) and 1/4 t. salt. Process until well mixed; pour on a plate. In a bowl, beat egg and milk together. Dip eggplant slices in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Meanwhile, in a heavy flat non-stick pan, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Turn heat on medium. Add eggplant slices to the pan. Cook until a nice gold brown shell has developed. Turn the eggplant slices over to cook the other side. For assembling the sandwiches you will need: dinner rolls, basil leaves and feta cheese. Cut dinner rolls in half; place one cooked eggplant slice in the middle, top with a large basil leave and crumbled feta cheese.
