Ingredients
  • 2 Eggplants
  • 150 g Cream cheese
  • 1 Green onion (or Fresh Chives)
  • 2 dash Salt
  • 2 dash Black pepper
  • 4 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. Peel the eggplants. Slice each eggplant lengthwise into 2-3 mm thick slices. Place them into a bowl full of salty water for 15 minutes. This method will help you get rid of the bitterness of the eggplants.
  2. Drain the water, tap the slices dry with the help of kitchen paper. Place the eggplant slices onto an oven tray which you covered with baking paper beforehand.
  3. Spread some vegetable oil on top of the slices using an egg brush. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (fan mode off).
  4. When ready, bake the eggplant slices in the oven for approximately 7-10 minutes depending on your oven's speed. Remove them when they start to change colour. (Make sure to check on them frequently, so that they won't get burned.)
  5. Place the oven tray on the counter to cool down. While waiting, wash and chop the green onions (or chives). You can leave them a bit longer so that they will stick out of the rolls.
  6. When the eggplant slices cool down, pick one slice and place 2 teaspoons of cream cheese on one end. Top it with 4-5 pieces of chopped onion and start rolling it slowly.
  7. When you roll the slice into a tube, you can either place it onto a serving plate as it is, or you can stick a toothpick through it to keep it from unrolling.
  8. Repeat the process for each slice. Sprinkle some salt and black pepper on top of the rolls. They are ready to serve.
  9. Bon appetit!
Recipe Notes

You can also cook the eggplant slices on a pan for a couple of minutes, instead of baking them in the oven.
