The eggplant bundles are a quick and tasty recipe, a second course different from the usual, inspired by the crunchy zucchini bundles. They are a delicious dish, consisting of slices of eggplant stuffed with tomato sauce, cooked ham, and cheese, then coated in breadcrumbs, a few minutes in the oven and in no time they’re ready! If you try them, let me know. A kiss, Chicca.

Ingredients

2 eggplants
to taste tomato sauce (seasoned with salt and oil.)
1/4 cup parmesan
1/2 cup scamorza cheese
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs

How to Make Eggplant Bundles

Start by trimming the already washed eggplants, then slice them quite thinly.
Place the eggplant slices on a baking tray covered with parchment paper, salt them, and bake at 400°F for about 10 minutes.
When cooking is finished, remove them from the oven. Take two pieces and arrange them in a cross.
Then, season with the tomato sauce and proceed by adding a piece of cheese, such as scamorza or another type of soft cheese.
Close the ends to create a bundle. Secure it with a toothpick and set aside.
At this point, dip the eggplant bundles first in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs.
Transfer all the eggplant bundles to a baking dish and season with Parmesan and a drizzle of oil.
Bake at 400°F for about 10-15 minutes.
