Disporre le fette su una larga teglia, mettere il sale e infornare vicino al grill finché le melanzane saranno leggermente dorate.

3

Preparare due teglie per panare: una con abbondante pane grattugiato e l'altra con una pastella di 2 uova, 3-4 cucchiai di farina, e poco alla volta incorporare circa mezzo bicchiere di latte.

4

Aromatizzare la pastella con origano.

5

Preparare una fetta di formaggio per ogni coppia di melanzane.

6

Tra ogni coppia di fette di melanzana inserire una fetta di formaggio, passare le melanzane nella pastella e poi nel pane, sigillando bene.

7

Friggere le melanzane in abbondante olio a circa 170°C per 5-6 minuti finché saranno ben dorate e croccanti.
