Coat each eggplant slice by dipping it in the flour mixture. For a ticker coating, dip in flour mixture then in almond milk, and again in the flour mixture.

1) The nuts don't have to be soaked for the vegan mayo if you have a high-powered food processor or blender. If you're unsure then it's best to soak them for 15 minutes up to 8 hrs. The longer you let them soak the smoother the vegan mayo will be.2) If you don't have any macadamias on hand, then you can also just use cashews. I wouldn't replace them with any other kind of nut though.3) You don't need to coat your eggplant slices. For a low-cal version, grill the eggplant slices.
