Yield 6-10 croquettes

Number Of Ingredients 16

CROQUETTES:
3 med. eggplants
2/3 c. bread crumbs
2 extra large eggs
1/3 c. freshly ground Parmesan
1 tbsp. finely chopped basil
1 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
Pinch of nutmeg
1 tbsp. chopped pine nuts
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
FOR DREDGING, FRYING & SERVING:
3 tbsp. flour
2 extra large eggs, beaten
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/2 c. light seed oil
1 lemon, cut into 6 pieces

Steps:

  • Peel the eggplants, cut into small pieces and steam until cooked but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Chop fine and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the bread crumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, basil, parsley, nutmeg, pine nuts, salt and pepper and combine thoroughly. The mixture should be dry enough to handle. Form the croquette mixture into egg shaped balls. Dredge lightly in the flour, dip into the eggs and coat with bread crumbs. Place the croquettes on a large plate and set aside. Heat the oil in a pan suitable for deep frying and, when hot, fry the croquettes, a few at a time, until golden on all sides. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and keep warm until all are cooked. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Serves 6.

These croquettes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili pepper next time.

These croquettes were delicious! I used goat cheese instead of mozzarella and they were amazing.

I followed the recipe exactly and the croquettes turned out perfect! They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

The croquettes were a little too oily for me. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

These croquettes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I tried this recipe for eggplant croquettes and they turned out great! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and they gave the croquettes a really nice crispy texture.

These eggplant croquettes were a hit at my dinner party! They were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The eggplant flavor really shone through, and the breadcrumbs added a nice crunch.
