Time 1h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon sea salt (such as Diamond Crystal®), divided
1 small eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
1 teaspoon olive oil, or more as needed
½ cup ricotta cheese
24 pita chips, or more to taste
24 cherry tomatoes, or more to taste
24 basil leaves, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt over eggplant rounds in colander; allow to drain at least 30 minutes. Rinse salt off the eggplant.
  • Spread bread crumbs into a shallow bowl and beat egg in a separate bowl. Dip eggplant into egg, allowing excess egg to drip off the eggplant; press into bread crumbs until eggplant slices are evenly coated on both sides.
  • Arrange coated eggplant on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix remaining 1 teaspoon salt with ricotta cheese in a bowl. Spoon ricotta cheese mixture onto each eggplant.
  • Bake eggplant in the oven until cheese is heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Place 1 eggplant slice onto each pita chip; top with a cherry tomato and basil leaf.

I followed the recipe exactly and my bites turned out perfect! They were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a huge hit.

These bites were a great way to use up some leftover eggplant. They were easy to make and tasted great. I would definitely make them again.

I thought these bites were just okay. The eggplant was a bit bland and the breading was a little too thick.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I thought these bites were pretty good. The breading was crispy and the cheese was melted and gooey. I would definitely make them again.
