EGGPLANT-STUFFED STRUDEL

Eggplant-stuffed strudel is an easy and tasty recipe, perfect for deliciously using 2 EGGPLANTS that were getting a bit too soft!

If you want to save time, use frozen GRILLED EGGPLANTS, but I baked them at high heat for a few minutes to make them soft and tender.

This BRAIDED PASTRY with PUFF PASTRY is simple and has an engaging and tasty flavor!

  • Parchment Paper

  • Brushes
  • Knives

Steps

  • 1) First, I washed and sliced the EGGPLANTS and then cooked them for 5 minutes on each side on a tray lined with parchment paper at 428°F in a static mode oven.

    2) I unroll the ready-made puff pastry, keeping the parchment paper from the package, and place it on a surface.

    3) I add slices of eggplant (I placed 9) in the center, overlapping them.

  • 4) Now I place slices of COOKED HAM on top, then chopped MOZZARELLA and some torn basil leaves.

    5) I cut the two sides of the puff pastry into strips, leaving the top piece intact.

    6) Then I proceed to close the filling by braiding the puff pastry strips.

  • 7) I beat the egg with the milk and brush the liquid over the strips of the braided savory eggplant-stuffed strudel.

    8) I sprinkle the savory braid of eggplant, ham, and mozzarella with SESAME and POPPY seeds, then bake at 374°F until fully cooked.

    9) Let cool and bon appétit!

Don’t like eggplants? Well, let’s use GRILLED ZUCCHINI, add slices of potatoes cut thin with a mandoline (careful with your fingers, please) just blanched for 3/4 minutes in boiling salted water.
