BAKED
EGGPLANT RECIPE
A lot of people will not cook
eggplant as they don't know how to cook it. Just try this
recipe for the Baked Eggplant and I'm sure you and your whole
family will enjoy it. Instead of having the pita bread or
crackers with the Baked Eggplant it is also really nice with
garlic or herbed bread. My family really like the Baked Eggplant
with the garlic bread so try it and enjoy it. This is a really
fabulous appetizer recipe.
Baked
Eggplant Ingredients
olive oil
1 Tbs olive oil
1 large eggplant
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp oregano chopped
1/8 tsp salt and pepper
4 oz feta cheese crumbled
2 Tbs parsley chopped
pita bread or crackers
3 garlic cloves unpeeled
1 large onion peeled and quartered
1 red bell pepper halved and seeded
Baked
Eggplant Method
The first
thing to do is preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the eggplant
lengthwise and brush all sides with olive oil. Place the halves
cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake it for 25 minutes. With
the oil brush the onion, garlic and red pepper and add to
the eggplant. Bake 25 minutes longer or until vegetables are
tender. Cool the eggplant mixture and scoop out the flesh
and place in a food processor. Next thing to do is squeeze
garlic pulp from skins, peel red pepper and add to eggplant
along with onion, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and
pepper. Process but do not puree. Mix in 3 ounces of the feta
cheese. Spoon mixture into a serving bowl and sprinkle with
remaining feta cheese around the edge of the Baked Eggplant
and mound parsley in the center. Serve the Baked Eggplant
with pita bread or crackers. My family really enjoys this
with garlic bread to.
Enjoy your freshly made Baked
Eggplant!
