- 50 g bread crumbs
- 1 garlic clove

Preparation
Dice the aubergines and place them in a pan with a clove of garlic, a glog of extra virgin olive oil and 1/2 glass of water.
Once cooked, let them cool off and place them in a bowl with the eggs, grated Grana Padano, sliced bread (previously soaked and drained), chopped parsley and a pinch of salt. Mix well to obtain a soft, well combined mixture.
With the help of a spoon, shape the mixture into 2-3 cm balls and cover them in bread crumbs.
Fry the balls in plenty of frying oil, drain them and season with salt and pepper.
Serve them hot.
