I tried this for supper tonight. Hubby was skeptical at the idea, but is now raving about it - and wants more! I added parmesan and garlic pepper to the potato flakes, did NOT add the salt, and used only as much butter as I needed for the amount of eggplant I was cooking. The eggplant came out crispy and very tasty.

This was AWESOME!!!! I added some onion & garlic powder and parmesan cheese to my flakes. Turned out crispy on outside and perfectly cooked eggplant on inside. I ate mine with a little bit of warmed up spaghetti sauce (I didn't have marinara :)).

I tried some peeled and unpeeled and liked the unpeeled ones better. Overall very good although the microwaved leftovers tasted better the next day--more time for the flakes to get mushy I guess! It sure is hard to get clumpy mashed potato flakes off your fingers!!

Be sure to cut the eggplant in thick slices - mine were too thin and tasted disturbingly like potato chips!

Fantastic! Really tastes like battered deep-fried eggplant, with a soft inside and fairly crispy outside. I found it hard not to eat all four servings myself in one sitting. Despite not adding any salt, I found these a tad salty simply from all the salt in the mashed potato flakes I used. So don't add salt! Like other reviewers, I only used two tablespoons of butter because that seemed like plenty (and would make the recipe healthier). (Remember, all the butter gets soaked up by the eggplant, and the recipe calls for a lot of butter!) As an experiment, I once added a little more butter when I flipped the eggplant, and those pieces ended up a little too buttery/greasy for me, though others may like them that way. Incidentally, I found I needed two eggs.

I like this reciped cooked in the oven better than on the stovetop. Crispy outside. Sprinkled parmesan cheese on after turning. After reading other reviews, I decided to add salt after they were cooked rather than into the egg mixture. I will use this recipe again.

This was pretty good, not my favorite way to prepare eggplant but a nice alternative. I think next time I might mix this with a bit of cornmeal to get more of a crunch.

I haven't made this recipe yet so I can't review it. I just wanted to tell you all to check the sodium content of the potato flakes. Some brands are higher than others and that will effect the outome of the recipe.

I will never bread eggplant any other way! I KNEW potato flakes were good for something aside from mashed potatoes!! I added some parmesan, basil and no-salt seasoning to the mix and ommitted the salt, but next time I WILL add a little salt b/c I feel it was needed... Also, make sure you use the full amount of butter or coat the slices with it before baking, b/c I cut the amount and some of my slices would not brown on both sides after I flipped them. You could also spray these with nonfat Pam or an olive oil spray for a healthier version... In any case, these are delicious and I will use potato flake breading for EVERYTHING! Can't wait to try it on fish!!!

The texture's awesome--golden brown and crispy on the outside, smooth and creamy on the inside. I made the recipe a wee bit more heart-friendly by using olive oil instead of butter, but otherwise followed the directions as given. The results were VERY salty, with little other flavor. I love eggplant, so I wasn't unhappy, but if I were to prepare this again I'd add onion powder and maybe a hint of garlic powder to the egg mixture, and probably cut out the salt altogether (it's as easy to salt something like this on the plate, to taste).

Very tasty! Fried taste, without the greasy, heaviness. Made as directed, but added in some extra spices: oregeno and basil.

First, I peeled and sliced the eggplant. Laid out on a paper towel and salted. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse and continue. After reading reviews, I only used 2T butter which seemed like plenty. I added about 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs and a teaspoon of italian seasoning to my potato flakes and NO salt. Next time, and there will be a next time, I'll try some parmesan cheese in the flakes and more seasoning. They were very good but I feel like they need a little kick of something.

Good, but I thought the breaded eggplant cutlets were way too salty. No other reviewers had mentioned this, so I thought that maybe I'd accidentally used too much salt. That wasn't the case. I used 1 tsp as the recipe calls for. I will make this again, but only use maybe a 1/4 tsp next time.

This is an excellent recipe! As a vegetarian I often have a hard time finding things that the whole family will enjoy. Eggplant is the hardest thing to serve to the family. They all loved this!

I enjoy eggplant, but haven't found a fried eggplant recipe that doesn't use oil on top of the stove. I didn't taste like a grease pattie. I have shared this recipe with friends and they have enjoyed it as much as myself.

I'm always looking for different ways to serve veggies, and this recipe was very good! I would cut back on the butter next time and also try some of the other suggestions for added seasonings (just for variety -- it's quite tasty the way it is).

Very good! My husband who "normally doesn't like eggplant" had two slices and my 8 year old son ate three slices. Admittedly, I did doctor the recipe a bit by adding some Italian seasoning and fresh grated parmesan cheese to the potato flakes. I will serve this again.
