Fried Zuchinni and Eggplant Taste Test

A few days after the eggplant/zucchini casserole, the neighbors came for dinner and we served fried eggplant and zucchini that was coated the same as my July, 11 post for Eggplant Parmesan .  After flipping, I topped them with sliced mozzarella, plated, sided with spaghetti, and topped with everything homemade sauce.

Some liked the eggplant and some preferred the zukes, but everyone thought both were delicious.  Both veggies are still producing in the garden, so I feel another batch of ratatouille coming on.

Using a recipe from Bon Appetit, Bev made these nice little appetizers of procuitto, melon, mozzarella, and basil leaves with a drizzle olive oil/basil sauce.

I liked them with or without the sauce.

All photos can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  4. I will say that I do love fried zucchini over eggplant... but only because eggplant can go to crispy and good to soggy in about 2.2 seconds.... now, would I shy away from either.. heck no!!!! Bring me a huge plate of both please!!!

  5. Love those veggie stacks; I love fried zuchini the best but with the sauce and cheese both would be delicious. Bev's appetizers look fresh and delicious-I might have to use her idea next time we have company! :)
