The creamy texture of eggplants goes well with the crisp breading of these fried snacks.
Heat two inches of oil in a deep, heavy pan to 37F.
Beat the egg and water together in a shallow bowl.
Season eggplant with salt and pepper. Roll each piece in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Finally, roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.
Place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning as they cook. Transfer from oil to drain, and sprinkle with additional salt while hot.
