Eggplant is cooked then mashed and shaped with cracker crumbs, cheese, eggs, garlic and green onion, then the patties are deep fried.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 medium eggplant, peeled and cubed
  • 1 1/4 cups cracker crumbs (about 20 butter crackers)
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion, with green
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

PREPARATION:

In a covered saucepan, cook eggplant in boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, place in a bowl, and mash. Stir in cracker crumbs, shredded cheese, eggs, parsley, garlic, green onion, salt, and pepper. Shape mixture into 8 patties about 3 inches in diameter. Heat oil in a large skillet; cook patties, turning to brown each side, until golden brown.
