• 1 large eggplant, or 4 ichiban eggplants (they’re long and skinny)
• 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
• 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 3 eggs, beaten
Preheat your broiler and wash your eggplants…
Cut them into little french-fry like wedges, salt them with Kosher salt to draw out the bitter juices: put the wedges into a colander over a bowl, sprinkle liberally with kosher salt, and top with a smaller colander weighted with the Kosher salt box, so the eggplant pieces were squished.
Mix together the wheat germ, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and garlic salt. I toasted the wheat germ in a pan first and then added everything else in with the pan still on low heat, stirring.
When your eggplant sticks are ready, rinse or wipe off the salt and pat dry with towels. Then dip each stick into the beaten eggs, and roll in the breadcrumb/wheat germ mixture. Place on a cookie sheet prepared with cooking spray.
Now broil for about 3 minutes, flip, and broil another 3 minutes or until they’re crispy.
Serve them with warmed up tomato sauce as a dip.
