Next pic...
Cuisinart fryer (turn to max 375*)..half eggplant amount dipped in eggwash and coated with plenty of breadcrumbs
Cuisinart grill/griddle combo (turn to Sear and Giddle option)...place thick pieces of eggplant on one side..brush lightly with teriyaki sauce..close lid and let brown..flip when browned well

4th pic..grilled eggplant with light Teriyaki brushing

5th pic...and now you're wondering..ok..whatcha gonna have with this...what else?...Mozzarella Cheese/fresh chopped tomatoes

Looks great! That is the best cooking IMO, using what you have on hand and not "over-thinking" it! Bravo!

Dipped in egg and crumbled saltines, then pan fried is nice.

I like to slice it thin and then roast it with olive oil and oregano, then put a big dollop of ricotta cheese on top with a simple tomato puree/garlic/basil/chili pepper flake sauce

I use two different methods to fry eggplant. I'll either slice it thin, dip it in an egg/milk batter, then fry, or slice it thick (3/4-1") and use the traditional three step flour dredge/eggwash/breadcrumb method.

I keep meaning to try fish fragrant aubergine (doesn't actually contain any fish at all)

I fry eggplant a lot, mostly for eggplant parm. What I've been doing recently: Crush some tomatos onto crusty bread so the juices soak in a bit, put arugala on top of crushed tomatos, put the fried eggplant on, olive oil and some balsamic vinegar = awesome sandwich!

no fresh mozzerella or vinegar peppers?

Eggplant is a huge dish here, served up in more ways than I can count! A great recipe is Moroccan eggplant, which is a little complicated to make, but oh so tasty! Let me know if you are interested, and I will post.

That's great. One of my favorite sandwiches is fried or grilled eggplant, fresh mozzarella, and freshly roasted red peppers.

Mozzerella is a given, I can't believe I forgot to list it. Sometimes I'll use the oil from a jar of sun dried tomatos instead of EVOO.

I'm pretty sure I could eat that every day for the rest of my life and never get sick of it.
