Eggplant with cheese

Finally, we waited for the moment when vegetables and fruits are sung in our kitchen gardens. It's time to cook aubergines with cheese. Before, I did not recognize eggplants, now I often cook them, and even grow them myself. They are somewhat like potatoes and zucchini, but this is my personal opinion.

This recipe is more suited to the category of snacks, I often cook it for home banquets. So, to prepare eggplant with cheese, we need 1 large eggplant, 80 grams of hard cheese (in my opinion, Mozzarella cheese is an ideal choice for this snack), a garlic clove, two spoons with a mayonnaise slide, three spoons of tomato sauce.

We prepare eggplant with cheese according to the following scheme:

1) Carefully wash my eggplant, cut it into slices and immerse it in boiling water for 2 minutes.

2) The pan for baking is lubricated with oil and put on it a slice of eggplant.

3) Garlic is passed through a special crush and mixed with mayonnaise. In the same mass we rub cheese on a small grater, all mix.

4) We put the garlic-cheese mixture with a teaspoon spread on eggplant, top with a little tomato sauce.

5) Bake eggplant with cheese in the oven at a temperature of no more than 200 ° C for 20 minutes. We serve hot, otherwise the cheese will freeze. You can prepare this dish in winter, as eggplants are perfectly frozen and stored for a long time. Yes, and in stores they sell almost the whole year, but their aubergines are more familiar and certainly more environmentally friendly.

Eggplants with cheese and tomatoes are very delicious. They are prepared in almost the same way as with cheese. It will take 3 medium aubergines, 5 tomatoes, 200 grams of hard cheese (we will take the same Mozzarella cheese, although with other varieties, probably, it will not be too bad), 3 garlic cloves, mayonnaise. We wash the eggplant in warm water, cut into slices like the last time, but along two halves. Cut the tomatoes into circles and lay them on aubergine. Grated cheese, chopped garlic and mayonnaise combine and mix well, we get such a unique sauce. With this sauce we water the eggplants. Bake an eggplant with cheese and tomatoes in the oven for no more than 20 minutes. Hot appetizer is decorated with a sprig of parsley and rush to serve to the table hot.

For sure this snack can be supplemented with some meat, for example, ham or sausage. I myself have not tried this option yet, but I'll definitely try to cook it.

It should be noted that aubergines are very useful for those who have heart problems. They contain a huge amount of potassium (it is even more in them than in cabbage, onion and sweet pepper), sodium, iron, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. Therefore, for bones it is very useful. And a substance such as lecithin, can effectively fight some diseases, for example, atherosclerosis.

To preserve all the useful properties in these amazing vegetables, they should be baked or steamed, or better still fresh in the form of salads. In frozen eggplants, useful substances are practically absent, but still there is some benefit. They can also be marinated together with other vegetables. Fried aubergines, of course, are very delicious, but you can not feed a child with such a dish, since it is not recommended to give fried to children. And adults who watch their health, I recommend baking or soaring.

So eat the eggplant and do not avoid this interesting vegetable, it will not bring you anything other than good. And it's very easy to cook them, you saw it for yourself by reading recipes for snacks with cheese and tomatoes. By the way, in the same way you can cook and young zucchini (or they are also called "zucchini", for the first time having heard such a name, was very surprised), it turns out very tasty. Enjoy your appetite and good health in addition!
