Stringy eggplant in a carriage is great to serve as a side dish or appetizer. You can also serve these stringy eggplants to accompany a tasty and original aperitif, they have a stringy heart thanks to the smoked scamorza cheese that gives even more flavor to the eggplants and they are also baked so light and no smell of fried food in the house, obviously if you like you can fry them as I did with the eggplant cordon bleu. I recommend trying the STUFFED EGGPLANT CUTLETS and the BAKED ZUCCHINI CORDON BLEU. Now let’s see how to make eggplant in a carriage and if you try it, let me know. Barbara

How to prepare Eggplant in a Carriage
Let’s start preparing the eggplant in a carriage by cleaning the eggplant, removing the stem part, washing it well, and cutting it into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the stringy cheese, or smoked scamorza or mozzarella into slices and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a shallow plate and beat them with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour some breadcrumbs onto a flat plate.
Turn on the fan oven to 356°F and line the baking tray with parchment paper.
Take a slice of eggplant, place the cheese and ham in the center, and close with another slice of eggplant. Now pass through the egg, then the breadcrumbs, and again egg and breadcrumbs, press well and place on the oven tray.
Continue in this way until all ingredients are used. Add a drizzle of oil and when the oven is hot, bake and cook for 20 minutes, turning the eggplant in a carriage halfway through.
If you wish, you can also fry them instead of baking, using peanut oil.
