Delicious Cheesy Eggplant Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 3 eggplants.
  • 1 onion chopped.
  • 5-6 spring onions sliced.
  • 1 medium potato grated.
  • 1 egg.
  • 2 garlic cloves.
  • A bunch of flat-leaf parsley.
  • 200 gr (7 oz) Feta cheese crumbled.
  • 100 gr of grated yellow cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack etc).
  • 100 gr (3.5 oz) bacon cubes or lardons.
  • ⅓ cup of extra-virgin olive oil.
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika.
  • Salt and ground pepper.

Directions

  • Cut the eggplants in half along their body, place them in a large colander and season with plenty of salt. Leave them for ~ an hour for the bitter juices to come out. Wash them well and dry with kitchen paper towel.

  • Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (360 F). Place the eggplants on a tray with the flesh facing up and spread some olive oil on top using a kitchen brush. Bake them for ~ 30 minutes until golden brown.

  • Remove the skin of the eggplants and put their flesh in a blender together with the garlic and parsley. Give it a go to make a smooth paste.

  • Heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the bacon (or lardons), onion and spring onions and cook until onions are softened and bacon starts getting brown.
