      I wish I had seen your recipe first. I was trying to figure out what to do with eggplant I had before it went bad. I had some circumstances at my place that I had bought the eggplant for another recipe. I had unexpected company and I was unable to use my eggplant. So it was fixing to go bad I was trying to find out the easiest simplest thing to make with what I had so I would not waste the eggplant I had bought. I am so glad I found your recipe so this happens again I will do it your way the other one was too short and I'm sure it's going to be all running together. I love the idea of frying them before rolling them because it makes them firmer. I'm a feeling my recipe that I was following is going to be all mushy. Thanks for sharing I will let you know how this one turned out and then I will try yours looks so much better

    When you’re frying the eggplant, can you use avocado oil? I am told it’s healthier than some of the other oils. I presume olive oil has two lowest smoke point and shouldn’t be used for frying. What are your thoughts?

      Hi, yes, bake it first and you can freeze it. During the summer months when eggplants are plentiful I fry them and freeze them wrapped in paper towel and in a ziplock bag. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching 🥰🙏🏻🇮🇹
