Ingredients:
- 1 eggplant

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Peel the eggplant and cut it into finger-size strips. |
| 2 | In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients. |
| 3 | In another bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined to create an egg wash. |
| 4 | Roll each eggplant strip in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, dip it into the egg wash, covering it completely, and roll it once again in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat this process for all the eggplant strips. |
| 5 | In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). |
| 6 | Carefully place the coated eggplant strips into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry them in batches if necessary. |
| 7 | Fry the eggplant fingers until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. |
| 8 | Once cooked, remove the eggplant fingers from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. |
| 9 | Serve the crispy eggplant fingers hot, alongside your favorite warm marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy the crunchy exterior and tender interior of these delectable treats! |
