Chef's Notes
Do not skip salting the eggplant unless you enjoy chewing on soggy rubber disks. Drawing out that moisture is the single most important step to achieving a firm, delicious texture that holds its structure.
Pro Tip
Crush your San Marzano tomatoes by hand right in the pot for the best rustic texture. Also, always pat that eggplant dry after salting—water is the sworn enemy of a crispy breadcrumb crust.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You ignore the salting step and skip patting the eggplant dry, leading to a watery, soggy disaster that turns your lovely breadcrumbs into a sad, gelatinous paste that even the family dog refuses to touch.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the eggplant if it wanted to be a steak, but it told me it felt a little too 'seedy' to commit to the role.
The Culinary Science
Salting eggplant triggers osmosis, drawing out water trapped in the plant's spongy cellular structure. This makes room for flavor to absorb and prevents the breading from turning into a soggy mess during baking.
