Fried eggplant with cheese

Cookinero 27 Aug 2025

Eggplant is one of the oldest vegetables. It was first grown in India in the first millennium BC. They appeared in Russia in the 17th century and were popularly called "blue ones". Eggplants can be used to make a tasty and filling snack with cheese and mayonnaise. To prepare fried eggplants with cheese, you need to cut them into rings, roll them in flour, fry them in a frying pan and sprinkle with cheese, mayonnaise and garlic. You can leave the eggplants unpeeled, but then the dish will taste slightly bitter.
