Cut the aubergines into 8 approx. 0.5 cm thick slices. Salt the aubergine slices and let them rest for 30 minutes. After this time, wash the aubergine slices under water and dry them on kitchen paper.
Place ham, cheese and 1 basil leaf on 4 eggplant slices and season with pepper. Place one eggplant slice on top, turn in flour, then in egg and finally in breadcrumbs.
Heat plenty of oil in a pan and fry the aubergines on each side for 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
The aubergines can also be baked in an oven preheated to 200 ° C for 20 minutes. Turn halfway through the baking time.
