Eggplant Recipes

Here are a couple I like:

Eggplant with Cheddar Cheese

Slice the eggplant about 3/8 inches thick - if they are young and tender, no need to peel

Dredge in flour

Fry in hot oil, turning once, to golden brown. Drain.

Stack eggplant slices with 1 slice cheddar cheese between eggplant slices. I like the Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp - but Kroger brand works fine and costs a lot less!

I usually use 3-4 eggplants slices per stack - top with slice of cheese.

Be sure and assemble your eggplant stacks in an ovenproof dish. Slide in 350 degree over for about 10 minutes - until cheese is all bubbly.

Serve with jalapeno relish (Old El Paso in the can) but hot salsa works just as well.

Eggplant Lasagna

Slice the eggplant lengthwise, brush with light code of olive oil and brown in iron skillet or on grill pan.

In ovenproof dish - use eggplant just like you would noodles, top with your favorite spagetti or marinara sauce and cheese.

Will only need 10-15 minutes in 350 degree oven to heat thoroughly and melt cheese. Serve with green salad and sliced Italian bread.
