Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F). Prepare a lined baking tray for the eggplants and tomatoes.
- Arrange the sliced eggplants, halved cherry tomatoes, and whole garlic heads on the prepared tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 20 minutes.
- While the vegetables are roasting, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard in a medium bowl to prepare the egg wash.
- On a large plate, mix the panko breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, cumin, diced parsley, and paprika for the breadcrumb mixture.
- After roasting, peel off the skin from eggplants and flatten each piece to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each eggplant piece in flour, dip it into the egg wash, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the breaded eggplants for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- For the sauce, squeeze the roasted garlic into a bowl, add the roasted cherry tomatoes, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper, and blend until smooth.
- Serve the crispy Eggplant Schnitzel topped with the roasted cherry tomato sauce and garnish with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley.
