————————————
I like eggplant but find that it can be too bitter when cooked sometimes. Most people interested in cooking Eggplant Parmesan probably already know how to reduce the bitterness but just in case you don\'t know yet, here it is: simply cut the eggplant, sprinkle them with lots of salt, place the eggplant on a few sheets of paper towels, and then let it sit there for anywhere from 30-90 minutes, then wipe the sweat. An easy and helpful step and so worth it!
You’ll Need
-
4 medium egg plants (about 6 inches long each) peeled and thinly sliced.

Salt

2 free range eggs, beaten. (I use free range. Regular eggs are fine.)
