Easiest Eggplant Recipe





1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds


4 tbsps mayonnaise


1/2 cup bread crumbs


1 tsp dried thyme


1 tsp dried basil


1 tsp dried oregano


1 tsp black pepper


1 tsp dried sweet red peppers





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.





Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish.


Mix in thyme, basil, oregano, black pepper,


and dried sweet red peppers.





Using a pastry brush, coat each eggplant slice with mayonnaise on both sides, then press into the crumb mixture to coat on both sides.





Place coated eggplant slices on baking sheet.





Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown, then flip slices over and bake another 10-15 minutes to brown the other side.
I love fried eggplant - sliced thin, seasoned, dipped in egg wash and bread crumbs, and fried in olive oil





OR





After frying it, layer in baking dish, cover with marinara sauce, Italian spices, and parmesan/mozarella. Bake until heated through.





OR





Eggplant Caponata





peel and dice eggplant





Simmer in olive oil until tender with lots of minced garlic, chopped celery, chopped green and ripe olives, maybe some mushrooms, a little tomato paste





This is a good relish on bruschetta, chunks of bread, or crackers.
12 6-by-2 inch eggplants


1/2 c. vegetable oil (approximately)


2 tbsp. butter


1 lg. onion, finely chopped


1/2 lb. lean ground lamb


1 med. tomato, peeled, seeded and finely chopped


1 sm. green pepper, seeded, deribbed, and finely chopped


2 tbsp. finely chopped parsley


Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


1 lg. clove garlic, finely chopped


1 lg. tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped


1/2 c. water or broth


1 tbsp. freshly squeezed and strained lemon juice





Remove the stems and hulls from the eggplants and discard. Peel each eggplant lengthwise in 1/2-inch strips, leaving 1/2-inch strips of skin between, making a striped design.





In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the eggplants and saute until soft on all sides, adding more oil if necessary. Arrange in a single layer in a shallow flameproof or ovenproof pan.





Add the butter to the skillet and heat. Add the onion and saute until soft but not browned, stirring frequently. Add the lamb and cook until lightly browned, breaking it up with the back of a spoon or fork. Stir in the tomato and green pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add the parsley, salt and pepper, and garlic, mix well, and remove from the heat.





Transfer each eggplant to a plate, leaving the oil in the pan. Slit lengthwise to within 1 inch of both ends on one side only. Stuff the pocket with several spoonfuls of the meat mixture. Return the eggplants to the pan, arranging them next to one another, slashed sides up. Place the tomato over the eggplants, sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, and pour in the water. Cover and simmer gently 40 minutes or bake in a preheated 350 F. oven 40 minutes. Add the lemon juice and cook 10 minutes or until the eggplants are tender.
it does not have four ingredients although it seems very easy to make. just cross out the cheddar cheese (unless you have some). http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/EGGPLANT_A鈥?/a>
I like to peel them, slice into thickish ';french fries';, dip that into egg wash, then roll in seasoned Italian bread crumbs. Deep fry. The moment you draint hem on paper towels, sprinkle w/ grated parmesan. Enjoy!
thecopycatrecipes.com. It has recipes from Olive Garden. Maybe you could find an easy recipe in there
I no longer home-make it since I found M.A.'s frozen premade eggplant in the freezer section at the supermarket. It is delicious!!!
I like to stir fry it slice it into french fry sized chunks.


First I will put olive oil and garlic in a pan. then add onion , add the eggplant and some red and green peppers. Add some italian spice to that if you'd like. Some salt and pepper. Let it all fry till the eggplant is soft and almost see through. It is soooo good over angel hair pasta.
