Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F
- Cut the eggplants in half, then score the flesh deeply in a diamond cross-hatch pattern with two or three long cuts, rotating the eggplant to make another set of cuts. Brush a little olive oil on the flesh and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Place eggplant halves flesh side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
- Scoop out the flesh and add it to a large bowl. Add 2 cups breadcrumbs, 2 garlic cloves minced, two eggs, the chopped herbs, and one cup crumbled feta cheese. Mix well.
- Heat 3-4 tablespoons of light olive oil in a medium skillet.
- Take a heaped tablespoon of the mixture and add it to the hot oil. Tidy up the fritter shape a little bit with the spoon. Add two more fritters, don't overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes. Carefully, turn fritters midway for a golden brown color all over.
- Place fritters on paper towels to absorb most of the oil. Serve fritters with a yogurt-based sauce, marinara, or whipped feta cheese.

Steps:
- Slice the eggplant into 3 mm (1/8 of an inch, or 1/3 of a cm) thick slices. You can slice in rounds or lengths; the preference is yours but round slices tend to be easier to handle.
- Soak in salted water for 10 minutes. Drain after 10 minutes and leave to one side for later use.
- Beat the egg with a quarter teaspoon of fine salt. Add the pepper powder to beaten egg and whisk gently. Dip the eggplant slices into the egg batter.
- Coat the dipped slices with the breadcrumbs. Place the breadcrumbs into a wide bowl or flat plate and lay the slices direct into the breadcrumbs, and then turn over to coat the other side. Lay on a tray or plate while waiting for frying. Keep this tray or plate close to the stove top for ease of use.
- Fry the coated eggplant slices in oil until golden brown in color.
- Drain the oil off each fritter on wax paper, kitchen towel, or cardboard.
- Serve. Eggplant fritters can be eaten and served in many different and creative ways. They can be served as a meal of their own, accompanied by salad and vegetables, or they can be served as a side dish. They make great snacks. Pickles, flavored mayonnaise, and sauces go well with eggplant fritters. Serve with vegetables as a delicious vegetarian meal when vegetarians turn up without warning.

EGGPLANT FRITTERS
You can make eggplant into fritters, seasoned with almost anything you like, but my taste here runs to Parmesan; the combination is magical. Fritters are usually deep-fried, but it isn't necessary in this case. Here they are made into flat, pancake like forms and cooked in far less oil. Like most fried foods, these are best hot; but, as with most fritters, they're acceptable up to a half hour after they've been made (and, though I wouldn't serve them to company this way, they're pretty good cold).

Steps:
- Trim and peel the eggplant and cut it into 1-inch cubes. If the eggplants are large, sprinkle them with salt, put them in a colander, and let them sit for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour. Rinse.
- Set a large pot of water to boil. Blanch the eggplant in the boiling water for about 5 minutes or until soft. Drain in a colander, pressing to get rid of as much moisture as possible. Combine in a food processor with the egg, parsley, Parmesan, garlic, and cayenne and process until smooth. Pulse in enough bread crumbs or flour to make a batter that will hold together.
- Put enough oil in a large nonstick skillet to coat the bottom to a depth of about 1/4 inch. Turn the heat to medium-high and wait until the oil is hot; when it's ready, a pinch of flour will sizzle. Drop the batter from a spoon, as you would pancake batter, and cook until nicely browned on both sides. Do not crowd the fritters, and adjust the heat as necessary so they brown without burning. Total cooking time per pancake will be about 6 minutes. Serve hot or warm, with lemon wedges.
- Somewhat easier, if anything. In step 1, grate or shred an equal amount of zucchini; wring in a towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible (if the zucchini are salted, the resulting pancakes will have slightly better texture, but it isn't imperative). Blanching is not necessary. Combine by hand with the remaining ingredients and cook as directed.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut eggplants crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place on layers of paper towels. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt; let stand 30 minutes. Brush 2 large baking sheets with oil. Pat eggplant dry; arrange in single layer on prepared sheets. Brush lightly with oil. Bake until eggplant is tender and dry, about 1 hour. Cool slightly; chop coarsely.
- Whisk 1 egg, grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Stir in chopped eggplant (mixture will be soft). Spread 1 cup breadcrumbs on plate. Whisk 1 egg and flour in another bowl. Press and shape eggplant mixture into 1 1/4 -inch-diameter balls. Press 1 piece smoked mozzarella into center of each ball, making sure eggplant mixture covers cheese. Dip balls, 1 at a time, into egg batter; roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
- Pour enough oil into large skillet to reach depth of 1/4 inch; heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add balls to skillet; sauté until browned, turning often, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
