Directions
-
Season eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
-
Prepare three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten milk and egg mixture, and one with Italian bread crumbs mixed with seasoned salt.
-
Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip in the egg batter, and coat thoroughly with the seasoned bread crumbs.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer and cook the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
-
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté chopped garlic, green onions, red bell peppers, parsley, basil, thyme, and seasoned salt until fragrant.
-
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Add the crawfish tails to the cream sauce and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Tabasco sauce, adjusting seasoning to taste.
-
Spoon the hot crawfish sauce over the fried eggplant slices.
-
Garnish with additional fresh herbs and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
