Ingredients

1 eggplant, medium
1 cup of bread crumbs
1/4 cup of all purpose flour
1/4 cup of flax seeds
1/2 cup of water
1 tsp of mustard
Salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation

Grab your eggplant and slice it from the bottom. Don’t slice them too thin, around 3/8″ thick will work perfectly.
In a small bowl mix the flax seeds with the water and let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes until thick. If you consume eggs, this mixture can be replaced using an egg beaten, either way will do the job.
When already thick, add the tsp of mustard in the flax seeds mixture and stir a bit to combine.
Take two more bowls. In the first one, pour the bread crumbs salt and pepper. In the second one sift the all purpose flour.
You will dip each eggplant disc into the all purpose flour bowl, then into the flax seed mixture and finally into the bread crumbs bowl.
Set aside and repeat with all the eggplant.
Add some olive oil into a skillet and fry your eggplant bites until golden.
Serve with your favorite dip!
