Preparation Eggplant croquettes for children who do not like eggplants

TOTAL TIME: 30 MIN

Preparation: 20 min

Cooking time: 10 min 

Step 1 Soak the crumb of bread in the milk. 

2nd step Peel the aubergine , cut into slices, fry in half the olive oil. 

Step 3 Peel the carcass of the chicken (much better) or very gently return the aiguillettes to the pan (they should not harden or color on the surface). 

Step 4 Separate the white from the yolk of the egg. 

Step 5 Chop the fried eggplant and chicken. Squeeze the breadcrumbs to remove the milk. Pour the breadcrumbs on a plate. 

Step 6 In a large bowl, pour eggplant, chicken, breadcrumbs, cheese , egg yolk. Salt, pepper. Mix gently. 

Step 7 With the hands, make balls of the mixture, then flatten them. Soak them in the egg white and roll them in the bread crumbs. 

Step 8 Sauté the croquettes in the pan in the remaining olive oil until they are cooked to the heart and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. The fire should be soft because the bread crumbs tend to darken very quickly.
