In the same bowl add Parmigiano, bread, tomato passata, egg, fresh basil and salt.

Step 6

Mix everything with your hands for a couple of minutes.

Step 7

If the mix feels a bit soggy, simply add a little bit more bread or breadcrumbs to thicken it.

Scoop out some of your eggplant mix (you can use an ice cream scoop), flatten it with your hands and place some mozzarella cubes in the middle.

Step 9

With your hands, form a little ball, adding some extra eggplant mix if necessary.

Coat each eggplant ball with breadcrumbs and fry in sunflower oil for about 5 mins each side or until nice and golden.
