Easy Eggplant (Aubergine) Casserole image

The technique may seem a little strange here, but it is not unlike making a dressing or stuffing for poultry. The end result is a delicious vegetarian main dish for the fall. It has a rich taste and meaty texture; some of my vegetarian friends were very suspicious while eating it, but I wouldn't fool them!

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for small to medium-sized eggplants that are firm and have smooth, blemish-free skin. Avoid eggplants that are too large, as they may be bitter.
  • Prepare the eggplant properly: To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, slice it thinly and sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse it off and pat it dry.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Use a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Monterey Jack. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it doesn't melt as well.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the quesadillas, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas until they are golden brown: Cook the quesadillas over medium heat until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted. This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Eggplant quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a great way to use up leftover eggplant and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect eggplant quesadillas every time.
