My dad made me eggplant parm one night and I thought, Hmm, I wonder if this would be good as a fried dish. Take this as a State Fair-style spin on a classically iconic Italian staple. This dish is quick and easy, and something anyone can do. You may think teens are lazy, but they'll come to life making this dish.

  • 2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cups grated Parmesan cheese , divided
  • 3 large eggs , beaten

    Heat canola oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
