Ingredients (serves 4):

- 2 medium-sized eggplants
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying

Cooking Tips:

- Choose eggplants that are firm and shiny with no bruises or soft spots.
- Slice the eggplants thinly to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut the eggplants into thin slices and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
4. Dip each eggplant slice into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Place the coated eggplant slice onto the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
6. Serve the eggplant pancakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
