Appetizers
A quick and simple appetizer
that looks good and tastes great. We recently served these at a function
and they were very well received.

Method
Cut eggplant into thick
slices. You should get about 6 out of one eggplant.
Cut slices into rounds
using a round cookie cutter just slightly smaller than the slices. This
makes each one uniform and gets rid of the peel.
Dip eggplant rounds into
bowls of well-seasoned flour, egg wash and bread crumbs and sear in a
pan of hot oil or in a deep fryer.
Once they have cooled,
you can top each piece with 45 ml (3 tbsp) of tomato sauce, followed by
a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and, finally, 30 ml (2 tbsp) of mozzarella
or provolone cheese.
Bake on lined baking
sheet at 350°F for about 7 minutes or until cheese is melted and
slightly browned.
Serve on your favourite
platter as appetizers or with other Italian dishes as part of a meal.
