This works really well with small eggplants, such as the white ones or japanese. I like it using the mayo as a base for the crumbs, but that makes a bigger mess than just using an egg wash. Also, I sub panko for the cracker crumbs & add pepper to the breading. 1-2 small eggplants make a good appetizer to nibble on while cooking dinner.
