I want to get rid of all the eggplant in the world – Jacks Hinkle, age 5
My son’s response after telling him what we were having for dinner last night. Sometimes, you just gotta be the uncool Mom and serve eggplant. Obviously, the kid doesn’t know what he’s talking about, because eggplant rocks! Besides being delicious, it is chock full of some healthy stuff.
I love eggplant and I love eggplant parmesan. I don’t however, like the heaviness of all the cheese and oil that comes with cooking eggplant parmesan. Instead, I make these little individual eggplant parmesan bites.
I love that whenever I’m in the mood to thwart Jackson’s plans to rid the world of eggplant, I can just walk out to my backyard and grab one of these. Savannah actually planted, watered, and grew these eggplants. For the record, she claims eggplant to be, not my favorite thing to eat. Punk kids.

August 24, 2014 at 10:37 amI made these and they turned out simply delicious! My critique is that I put too much salt on the first batch, and the frying/baking time on here is waaaaayyy too short. I fried them for about 5 mins each and then baked them for about 10-15 mins and then put the cheese on and broiled it for a minute to gove it a nice browning.
