Fried eggplants for rolls are an exquisite appetizer with a velvety texture and deep, rich flavor. This recipe is widely popular in European cuisine and is perfect for creating rolls with various fillings—from spicy cheeses to aromatic herbs and nuts. Thin slices of eggplant, soaked in salted water to remove bitterness, are then fried until golden brown, acquiring tenderness and a slight sweetness. Their softness makes the dish versatile, harmoniously pairing with meat and vegetable ingredients. Such eggplants can serve as a base for elegant appetizers on a festive table filled with the flavors and aromas of Mediterranean tradition.
