A-Z Challenge Recipes Letter E

Baked Breaded Eggplant 

( Borrowed this one from the internet but think I would like to try it.)

1 very large eggplant, or 2 smaller ones 

1 large egg
2-3 cups (start with 2 and add more if needed) of seasoned breadcrumbs
Olive oil
Garlic Salt to taste
                  
Preheat oven to 375. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and coat each pan with olive oil (it’s easier if you spread it around with your fingers).  Peel and slice eggplant about a ¼ inch thick.  In a small bowl whisk together the egg with about a tablespoon or two of water.  Pour 2 cups of seasoned bread crumbs on a plate and set aside.  

Dip each piece of eggplant in the egg mixture and then dredge in the bread crumbs and set onto the baking sheets.  Once you’ve finished this process you will need to drizzle a little olive oil on top of each piece of eggplant.  Place in oven and cook for about a ½ hour, turning each slice of eggplant after 15 minutes.  When it's done it should be a nice golden brown, so increase your cooking time if need be. When it comes out of the oven I sprinkle a little garlic salt over all of them.  Serve hot or cold, either way it's yummy!  Serves 4.

A-Z challenge Recipes Letter A

Letter A and our first recipe is for  Artichoke

This vegetable grows to 4–6 ft tall.

 

If you have never eaten one you really should give it a try.

It is pretty simple..you just cook it in boiling salted water for 20 to 25 min. or until you can pierce it with a sharp fork. Drain it and set on plate to serve. Pull the leaves off stating at the bottom. You eat only the little fleshy part at the base. Some people like to dip it in melted butter. I like it dipped in real mayoniase and some restaurants serve it with garlic aioli.

I have decided to do the A-Z challenge this year and my theme will be.................."Recipes"

Not just any recipes but those from my very own cookbook so they will be simple and practical and maybe some you might like to give a try. There may be one or two that I take from the internet because I do not have one that will match the current letter but I will note that if it happens and it will be one that I think I would like to try.

There will be a new post everyday in the month of April with the exception of Sundays.
