Eggplant for Breakfast

[Davey]

If like me you love eggplant for breakfast but find it soaks up so much oil in the frying pan it gives you indigestion later, here is a better way to cook it.

Place slices of eggplant about 1 centimetre thick in a microwave steaming dish with a little water in the bottom.

Coat the eggplant well on both sides with olive oil using a pastry brush.

Cover and cook on high for 3 minutes, (the steam will stop it drying out).

Serve on dry toast sprinkled with salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy.

Hi davey

I have a large electric toasted sandwich machine which I can use to fry eggplant without any or minimum oil. I do not trust microwave ovens, myself!

Hi Mark

Thank you for reminding me about toasted sandwiches.

I remember eating many tasty sandwiches years ago made in an old sandwich toaster at home.

This consisted of two round hinged metal halves with two long handles.

You put in your bread and filling then turned over the handles to close it down on the sandwich. You needed to put margarine in the round metal bits to stop it sticking, but olive oil could do the job just as well.

The corners of the bread came off and you placed it straight on the stove top and turned it to cook the now round sandwich golden brown on both sides.

I wish I had one of these now for cooking eggplant and many other varieties of sandwich and without the teflon type non stick coating too.

Hi Mark

Whilst in Leura recently visiting the open gardens, I noticed a sale in the CWA building and actually found one of these old toasters for $2.00. It is called a "Nutbrown" sandwich toaster and is marked Made in England. I would date it as 1950's. Now my Eggplant is better than ever.
