Eggplant "Sandwiches"

1 large eggplant
pepper
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup parmesan
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons parsley, minced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup pepperoni, minced
salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash eggplant and slice crosswise into 1/4 " thick slices.

Combine the cheeses with the parsley and minced pepperoni. Season with salt and pepper. Spread an equal amount on half the eggplant slices. Place an uncoated eggplant slice on each coated slice, an eggplant sandwich.

Coat each "sandwich" with flour, then egg and then breadcrumbs.
Place on a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil on each side of each "sandwich".

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and tender, turning after about 20 minutes. Serve hot, cold or at room temperature.
Yields 8 servings.
