Easy Eggplant Cheddar Croquettes
I had some eggplant I wanted to use, but was kinda feeling tired of my usual preparations. Did a quick search and found this concept. Pretty cool, just microwave the eggplant, mix, and fry.
What you will need
2 medium eggplant
1 cup grated cheddar
1 cup panko
2 eggs
2 clove garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
How to cook
1
Peel and dice the eggplant. Microwave for 3 minutes.
2
Stir and repeat until eggplant is soft and cooked through. It should take 15-20 minutes total in the microwave.
3
Doesn't have to be cheddar. Use whatever cheese you like or have available.
4
Crush or chop garlic. I just squished it with the side of my knife.
5
Combine all ingredients. Mix everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Hold out the eggs for this step if you're concerned about eating raw egg.
6
I formed these tight patties, but they were a little dense. Next time I'll just spoon the mix into the hot oil and spread it out gently.
7
Heat some oil in a skillet. Fry patties until golden on both sides.
