    Very good recipe, maybe just a little heavy on the bread crumbs. I might try using fresh bread crumbs next time and season it accordingly.

    Italian Eggplant Balls (Use Just Like Meatballs) Fry or Bake, I’ve made these for a long time These Italian eggplant balls are a great substitute for meatballs Use them just like meatballs, in sauces, in recipes, as a side dish, etc They can be a vegetarian substitution for many dishes I like these best fried because I like them crispy You could bake them instead They go great parmesan style too, in a casserole dish, topped with sauce, parmesan & mozzarella cheese then baked , Very good recipe, maybe just a little heavy on the bread crumbs I might try using fresh bread crumbs next time and season it accordingly , Very good I made them as you said & added a touch of oregano, Baked at 325F for 15 minutes & nothing started to brown, 375F for 20 more minutes with very little browning, broiled for another 3 minutes and that did the trick Thank you
