A friend of mine at work is trying to eat vegetarian for a month. She has inspired me to cook up some of the vegetarian recipes I have been wanting to try. So today I tried two fabulous eggplant recipes. I served them with a nice spinach salad and some nice toasted bread. This eggplant has a perfect texture and great taste.
Caprese Eggplant Stacks
1/2 eggplant
1 tomato
fresh mozzarella
fresh basil leave
1 egg
1 c. pankco crumbs
Slice eggplant into 1/2" slices. Set out on paper towels. Salt slices and allow to sit for 30 minutes. This will draw out most of the moisture from the eggplant. Beat up the egg. Put pankco crumbs into a bowl. Dip slices into egg and then into crumbs. Grill on a grill pan, browning on both sides.
Place on a sprayed (with Pam) cookie sheet. Top each slice with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
Broil until cheese melts. Top with fresh chopped basil.
Caprese Eggplant Pizzas
1/2 eggplant
1/2 c. pizza sauce
fresh mozzarella
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
1/2 c. chopped tomato
fresh chpped basil
Slice eggplant into 1/2" slices. Set out on paper towels. Salt slices and allow to sit for 30 minutes. This will draw out most of the moisture from the eggplant. Grill eggplant on a grill pan for 5 minutes on each side. Top with about 1 T. pizza sauce on each slice. Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese, about 1 T. Parmesan cheese and some chopped tomato. Plaace on sprayed (with Pam) cookie sheet. Broil until chesse melts. Top with fresh chopped basil.
