- These are similar recipes; I've made both. I like them because the leftovers
- are easy to reheat - a consideration for me because there's just the two of
- us - and they also taste very good, first to last.

- EGGPLANT ROLLS
-
- 2 medium eggplant
- Batter:
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp. flour (pref. whole wheat)
- 1/3 C. milk
- 1 Tbsp. oil
- Filling:
- 1 C. grated Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 C. grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 C. Ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp. parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
- Topping:
- tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce
- grated Mozzarella
-
- 1/4 C. oil
- 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
-
- NOTE: You could add browned hamburger or
- Italian sausage to filling; I sometimes do.
-
- Mix filling ingredients together until smooth.
- Add hamburger or sausage, if using.
- Chill.
- Peel eggplant and cut lengthwise into slices
- 1/8" - 1/4" wide.
- Mix batter ingredients until smooth.
- Dip eggplant slices into some additional
- flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat oil and butter together.
- Dip eggplant into batter to coat.
- Saute in oil until browned on both sides.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Place about 2 tablespoons filling on each
- eggplant slice. Roll loosely - short side.
- Arrange rolls with seam side down in lightly
- oiled baking pan.
- Cover with tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce.
- Sprinkle with grated Mozzarella.
-
- Bake about 15 minutes at 375 degrees.

- EGGPLANT PARMESAN ROUNDS
-
- 1 eggplant, sliced into 1/2" thick slices
- 1/2 C. flour
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- pinch salt & pepper (or seasoned salt)
- pinch Italian seasoning
- 2 eggs, beaten with 2 Tbsp. water
- 1 C. bread crumbs (flavored or unflavored)
- oil for frying
- 1 jar good quality tomato based pasta sauce
- 1/2 - 3/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pkg. (8 oz.) grated mozzarella cheese
-
- Mix flour, garlic powder, salt & pepper and
- Italian seasoning together.
- Dredge eggplant slices in flour.
- Dip floured slices in egg beaten with water.
- Dip egged slices in bread crumbs.
- Fry in a large frying pan, in oil, until deep
- golden brown.
- Drain slices on paper towel, then transfer
- to a cookie sheet (I usually spray sheet lightly
- with cooking spray).
- Sprinkle each slice with grated Parmesan.
- Spoon pasta sauce over Parmesan, then sprinkle
- with grated mozzarella.
- Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted but
- not browned.
-
- You need to be organized, to make these, because
- things tend to get spread out. They're worth the
- little extra logistical planning, though as they are
- delicious. They're also quite easy to reheat in a
- 325 degree oven.
-
- I've never tried to freeze them, but it probably could
- be done - after assembly but before baking.
