To make these delicious nuggets, you'll need:

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for brushing

To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Next, whisk together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip each eggplant round into the egg mixture, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the eggplant to ensure they stick. Place the coated eggplant rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Brush the tops of the eggplant rounds with a little olive oil, then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the nuggets are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
