Title: Fried Eggplant Sandwiches

Categories: Sandwiches, Vegetables

Yield: 4 servings

 

1 Eggplant

Salt

6 oz Mozzarella cheese

(not grated)

1/2 ts Yeast

1 1/2 c Warm water

(105-115 degrees)

2 c Plain flour

Pepper to taste

4 1/2 tb Oil

1 lg Egg white

Oil for frying

 

Slice the eggplant into 1/4 " rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let

drain in a colandar for about an hour. Slice the mozzarella into

thin slices and trim to the shape of the eggplant slices. Sprinkle

the yeast over the warm water abd stir until is dissolved. Whisk in 1

1/2 cups flour and the pepper until smooth. Keep at room temp for 30

min. Rinse and pat dry the eggplant slices. Fry them in batches

using 1 T oil per batch over medium heat about 2 min per side. Remove

to paper towels to drain while you finish the other slices. Place a

cheese slice between each two eggplant slices (like a sandwich).

Press firmly together and dip in the remaining flour to coat both

sides. Beat the egg white until stiff (but not dry) peaks form. Fold

into the yeast mixture. Heat oil (about 1 inch deep) in a large

frying pan. Dip 1 eggplant sandwich into the batter at a time and

place in the hot oil. Fry 4-6 at a time for 1-2 minutes per side

until light brown. Place on paper towels to drain oil until all are

done. Serve hot. These are great with a horseradish type dressing on

top! Depending on the size of the eggplant, this could make 6-12

sandwiches. Walt MM
