Eggplant Rolls

Eggplant Rolls

Eggplant rolls with mozzarella and prosciutto are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. 

Ingredients 

 

12 slices of eggplant

 

4 tbs olive oil (divided)

 

Sea salt, pepper, Tone’s rosemary, garlic seasoning

 

12 slices prosciutto

 

12 mozzarella slices into 1/4″ square logs

 

1/3 cup panko (or almond flour)

 

1/3 cup pecorino cheese, grated

 

Olive oil 

 

Chili pepper flakes + fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

 

Slice your eggplant lengthwise into slices with 1/2 inch thickness. You don’t want them too thin or too thick. Keep in mind they shrink while cooking.

 

In a large pan, heat 1 tbs olive oil over medium high and add in as many slices of eggplant as can fit.

 

Season both sides with sea salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic seasoning.

 

Cook for 3 minutes and then flip them over.

 

You may need to add more olive oil if the slices are too dry. Don’t over do the oil though, you don’t want them soaked in oil, just want to give them that yellow color. Remove cooked slices to a platter and repeat with the process with the rest of the eggplant.

 

Preheat your oven to 350° F.

 

Add olive oil to a 9×13″ baking dish with olive oil, sprinkle with panko and pecorino.

 

On a flat surface top each eggplant with prosciutto and then place the mozzarella stick on the narrow side of the eggplant.

 

Roll toward the wider side and place the roll in the dish, seam side down. Repeat.

 

Sprinkle top of the rolls with panko, pecorino and add olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes then broil for 5 minutes to get that golden brown color. Enjoy!
