2. In a pan, heat olive oil, add onion and garlic and cook until the onions turn translucent. Add tomatoes and the seasoning, stir to mix and allow to simmer.
3. Using a paper towel, blot both sides of the eggplant slices. In a bowl break in the eggs and whisk. Dip each eggplant slice first in egg and then in the flour, place on the baking tray.
4. Now dip each of the slice first in egg and then in bread crumbs, place on the baking tray. In a pan heat oil and fry the eggplant until brown from both sides. Drain onto a paper towel.
