One thing I love to eat is eggplant. I love it baked, fried, in a sauce, as a dip, I could keep going on and on, I just love it.
This crumbed eggplant is very easy to make, they are great hot or cold, are great with or without the sauce. They are just delicious.
This is lunch, this dinner, this is party food, this can even be breakfast for me.
I only salt eggplant that has a lot of seeds in it, if by chance you buy one with minimal seeds, you can skip this step.
Simple, addictive, delicious, I could eat this again and again.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
