Hubby does not like eggplant, so I opted to salt and drain in order to avoid any chance of that eggplant tingle. Filled them with sauteed ground Italian sausage and chopped mushrooms with ground up hard cheeses. I had leftover bread crumbs with ground up pistachio nuts from another meal, so I used that. Served with a chunky marinara and field green salad. Absolutely delicious and hubby ate two! He said he actually liked them. These might be my new go-to hors d'oeuvres for upcoming holiday parties. Next batch - spicy soppressata!Annie in Calihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079025959630343951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-19648884281036338332017-07-04T21:21:18.583-04:002017-07-04T21:21:18.583-04:00Made these over the weekend as an appetizer.

Make sure you top eggplant is balanced on top, the melted cheese will cause it to slide off. I put mine next to anther 'eggplant sandwich' to keep it on. I put my leftover in the freezer, plan on thawing --> oven some other day. Probably will retain the good taste.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226119210245508769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-51084329559659713532014-12-21T16:26:05.601-05:002014-12-21T16:26:05.601-05:00I just finished making and eating this.

I was going to go Reuben but not the local mart or my main store has corned beef. Seriously, what gives. Anyway, for a vegan replacement I think roasted red peppers and/or tomatoes coupled with some buffalo mozzarella would be great. Perhaps strengthening the seasonings in the flour a bit also. But, there is no Chef next to my name, so let's see what Chef John has to add.<br />Ed the house chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577365205824100488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-24464858889626780792013-01-26T06:42:57.372-05:002013-01-26T06:42:57.372-05:00Can you (anyone) suggest a vegetarian replacement ...Can you (anyone) suggest a vegetarian replacement for the salami?

They turned out pretty good, but I think next time I'll add a few more slices of salami. I know you say not to over fill them.
