Crispy eggplant rolls are an excellent idea for a tasty snack, a warm dinner, or an unusual lunch. Inside, they hide bacon and cheese, which melts and becomes wonderfully stretchy after baking. Eggplant skewers delight every time they appear on the table.
Ingredients:
- 1 eggplant
- 3.5 oz bacon in slices
- 3.5 oz gouda cheese in slices
- 1 egg
- wheat flour
- bread crumbs (or panko)
- olive oil
- salt to taste
Preparation:
Step 1. Cut off the green tip of the eggplant and slice it into long strips. It's best to do this with a mandoline, a unique vegetable slicer. Grill the eggplant. You can also use a grill pan or even a waffle maker.
Step 2. Roll a piece of cheese and bacon tightly on the grilled eggplant. Coat successively in flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs, then skewer onto a stick. You can substitute bread crumbs with panko.
Step 3. Drizzle with olive oil and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place in an oven preheated to 375°F and bake for about 20 minutes. After this, transfer to a plate and serve warm when the cheese is mouthwateringly melted inside. Enjoy!
