Baked eggplant with mayonnaise dressing

Baked Eggplant with Mayonnaise Dressing is a delightful and simple dish that brings out the rich flavors of eggplant complemented by the creamy texture of mayonnaise. Perfect as a side dish or a light meal, this recipe is easy to prepare and rewarding to taste.

Ingredients:

1 eggplant
460g
4 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
60g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Eggplant:
- Wash the eggplant thoroughly and pat it dry.
- Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick slices. (You can leave the skin on or peel it, depending on your preference.)
3. Season the Eggplant:
- Lay the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle the slices with a pinch of salt and let them sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat them dry with paper towels.
4. Coat with Mayonnaise:
- Using a brush or a spoon, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise salad dressing on both sides of each eggplant slice.
5. Bread the Eggplant:
- Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
- Press each mayonnaise-coated eggplant slice into the bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
- Arrange the breaded eggplant slices back on the baking sheet in a single layer.
6. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggplant slices are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even baking.
7. Serve:
- Remove the baked eggplant from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. For added flavor, consider serving with a dipping sauce, such as marinara, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil.

Tips:

- Choose a fresh and firm eggplant to ensure the best taste and texture.

- If you have extra time, soaking the eggplant slices in salted water for 30 minutes before baking can help reduce bitterness.

- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the bread crumbs for a customized flavor.

- For a healthier option, use a low-fat or light mayonnaise.
