Eggplant Pancakes Recipes

EGGPLANT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the eggplants, left whole, in a baking dish (do not crowd them) and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until the skin is soft and wrinkled. Remove the eggplant from the oven. Let cool just enough so they can be handled (but still warm). Peel the skin off and let any liquid drain off. Chop the eggplant and place in a bowl. Add the cheese, eggs, and flour. Mix well. Season as desired with salt. Heat oil in a wide skillet. Form the eggplant mixture into patties and place in the hot oil. Cook, turning once, until browned on both sides. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper toweling. Serve hot.
