    I really liked this recipe. However, I used italian seasoned breadcrumbsand ,and made them into thin round patties. I put them on top of spaghetti noodles with tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Then I broiled it in separate personal serving sizes until it was golden brown. It made the perfect eggplant parm. I bet an eggplant parm sandwich would be delicious too. Thanks for the recipe! I love this site.

    Can these patties be frozen before you cook them?

    we LOVE these sandwiches (as we do EVERYTHING catherine conjures.
    but, two points:
    1. we’re vegetarians and try not to call vegetarian dishes things like “veggie meatballs” etc b/c we try not to look at our food as a substitute for something we’re being deprived of. that said, i do get the shorthand of a “veggie burger” but our little ones don’t really have hamburger in their repertoire so it’s not a selling point.

    2. with this particular recipe, when it comes to the “form the patties” portion, i literally have to just use a spoon and put dollops out as the mixture is like paste and if i try to form it in my hands, it becomes an eggplant glove. any suggestions?

    love

    I made these burgers but added a can of drained chick peas to the mix for protein. I added cumin and mustard seed too. When I blended them they had a really soft consistency, but formed easily into patties. I browned them on both sides with a bit of oil in a pan and finished them off in the oven for about 10 minutes and they really firmed up well. They were delicious! Sort of like a falafel burger, but with eggplant! My husband called them baba-ga-mus burgers! The whole family LOVED them. I served them with some plain yogurt and cucumber dip. What kid dosen’t love to dip!

    Thanks! I was one of the ones who followed the recipe last time, and ended up with pancake batter consistency. None of them turned out :( So, I picked up another eggplant and I’m going to have a go at it again :) Thanks!!!

    Looks yummy! No probs watching, must be a connection issue, or a computer issue. Did miss child participation in video, though!

    BTW, can these be baked instead of fried?

    Internet access can be a real bummer. Hopefully it will clear up so you can see it straight through!

    This eggplant burger video was a diappointment as the video was choppy and stopping every couple of seconds. I ended up just copying the recipe, but my granddaughter was wanting to watch this as we made them.

        It was really choppy for me as well. If you pause the video and come back to it after a few minutes, however, it won’t need to stream as you go, so you won’t have the choppiness problems anymore.

      Elaine- I just watched the video and there were no problems. Have you considered that it may have been a problem with the internet connection at your end?
