Fried Eggplant with Cheese

I love cheese!!! Let me share my recipe for eggplant using cheese as one of the ingredients.

Ingredients:

5 pcs. Eggplant
1/3 cup Cornstarch
3 pcs. Eggs
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper (ground)
1 tsp. Basil (dried)
1/2 cup Cheese (grated)
1/4 tsp. Iodized Salt
Safflower Oil (for frying)
1 L Water

In a large saucepan, place the water and boil. Once boiling, add the eggplants and simmer until soft enough for easy peeling. Peel the eggplants and set aside.

In a suitable bowl, beat the eggs, add pepper, basil, cheese, iodized salt and mix well. Add cornstarch and mix.

With the aid of a fork, flatten the eggplant and dip in the batter. Heat oil in frying pan and pan fry the eggplant coated with batter on each side until golden brown. Note, while frying, spoon a equal portion of the batter so that it is equally distributed among the 5 eggplants.

Place fried eggplant on a colander lined with paper towels to absorb the excess cooking oil.

Plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Enjoy...
