Eggplant rolls
INGREDIENTS
- 1 medium eggplant (flask)
- 10 slices bacon
- 10 sticks hard cheese (kefalotiri)
- olive oil
- 1 large tomato
- oregano
- pepper
METHOD
- Wash the eggplants and cut them into thin slices (about 10).
- Spread with olive oil the eggplants and place them in non-stick baking paper.
- Put them in the oven and bake them for 10′ until almost cooked (you may need to turn upside down to avoid burning) and leave them to cool.
- Lay a slice of bacon, then on top place a slice of eggplant, then the cheese stick, and place a toothpick so it can not unroll.
- Continue until you run out of ingredients.
- Place the rolls in a baking pan.
- Grind the tomato, add some oregano, pepper, stir and pour over the rolls.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20′-30′ until the bacon is cooked.
TIP 2: Be careful with the cheese because it might melt if you leave it more time than needed.

This recipe looks absolutely delicious!One question- what lind of cheese can I substitute if I can’t find kefalotiri? Thanks!
hello Arlene! thank you for the visit!
you can use any hard cheese that it not melts easily (eg regato cheese).

Oh no… Why do you have to baconize this wonderful recipe… Keep it simple, low-fat and Greek.
