Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¾ teaspoons salt
1 large eggplant, peeled and cubed
¼ cup chopped onion
¾ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 ½ cups bread crumbs
2 eggs
½ ounce shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium-size pot, place one inch of water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and eggplant. Cover pot and cook 15 minutes, or until eggplant is tender. Drain well.
  • Chop the cooked eggplant. In a large bowl, combine eggplant, onion, green pepper, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, cheese, paprika, pepper and remaining salt. Cool and chill 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
  • Place flour in a bowl. Beat the remaining egg in a separate small bowl. Drop mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls into the flour and coat completely. Then dip the eggplant balls into the beaten egg; finally, coat the balls with the remaining bread crumbs.
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil and fry eggplant balls until they are heated through.

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but these balls were delicious! The breading was perfectly crispy and the eggplant was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making these again.

These fried eggplant balls were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. I used fresh herbs from my garden, which really made the dish pop.
