- In a different shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs and cheese together.
- Dip each eggplant stick into the egg white mixture, making sure it's fully coated. Shake off any extra liquid.
- Roll the coated eggplant stick in the breadcrumb mixture until it's fully covered.
- Place the coated stick on the baking sheet. Make sure they don't touch or overlap.

- After baking, put the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the fries cool for a few minutes.
