Had some extra eggplant I needed to cook, but I was super tired of all of my standard eggplant recipes. Found an idea somewhere for eggplant croquettes. I had to Frankenstein a couple of recipes together but I'm pretty happy with the results. The original was posted here.
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplant
- 1 cup grated cheddar
- 1 cup panko
- 2 eggs
- 2 clove garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Peel and dice the eggplant. Microwave for 3 minutes.
-
Stir and repeat until eggplant is soft and cooked through. It may take 15-20 minutes total in the microwave.
-
Grate the cheese. Doesn't have to be cheddar by any means. Use whatever cheese you like or have available.
-
Crush or chop garlic. I just squished it with the side of my knife.
-
Combine all ingredients. Mix everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Hold out the eggs for this step if you're concerned about eating raw egg.
-
Heat some oil in a skillet. Spoon some of the mix into the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
bon appetit
