1	Cook the mozzarella sticks	10
Heat the oven to 350 °F and cook the mozzarella sticks according to the directions on the package.
2	Prepare the eggplant	15
Trim the eggplant and cut off the sides so that it is rectangular and even. Slice lengthwise into eight ¼ inch thick slabs. Place these on a baking sheet and season with ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Mash the chopped garlic with ⅛ teaspoon of salt using a fork. Place the garlic in a bowl and stir in the tomatoes, basil and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Place to one side.
4	Blot the eggplant with a paper towel	3
Using a paper towel, pat the eggplant slices to absorb any water the salt drew out. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
5	Cook the eggplant	15
Beat the eggs together lightly in a shallow bowl or dish. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge 2 eggplant slices in the egg, and allow the excess to drip off. Fry the eggplant in the oil until brown on both sides. Drain on a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels and repeat.
