I thought the balls were too mushy and greasy. I'm not sure if it was the cheese or the grease. I will not be making this again.

These were delicious! My three year old and I ate them up, and he actually requested that I make more the next day! I did noticed that, had I added a little extra salt (I scrimped this time, so it wasn't quite "there", but it was my fault) and a little bit of seafood seasoning, they would have tasted just like crab cakes. I will definitely be making these again!

I thought these were yummy! I pureed the eggplant after it was cooked, skipped the green peppers because I was out of them, used more cheese- about 3/4 cup, doubled the eggs (both for in the balls and in the dipping process- 4 total), and used whole wheat bread crumbs. I did need more bread crumbs for the dipping (about double). My toddlers thought these were chicken nuggets and dipped them in ketchup- which tasted good to me too. next time I will try them with the green pepper or double the paprika. good!

Well, the dogs enjoyed them. I think the eggplant needs to drain longer. I ended up adding more bread crumbs and whatever taste and texture was in the original recipe must have been diluted. Not worth the trouble.

These were easy and tasty, but should come with a warning! People won't stop requesting them for every event, dinner, office etc.

These were okay. Changes: 1) Roasted the eggplant and a few cloves of garlic that I later threw in. 2) Used Feta instead of cheddar 3) Added oregano, cumin and cayenne, and 4) Baked instead of fried. Dipping in the egg before breading was a pain, so I stopped doing that after 3 of them. The bread crumbs stayed on just fine without. This was a different way to have eggplant, but I doubt I will make it again.

This recipe truely deseves ***** stars. It is simple enough for beginners and pro cooks. I made this reipe and my family loved it. I added more cheese and breadcrumbs for an firmer mix.

Excellent! The batter smelled great and they tasted just as great. I served them to my boyfriends family and everyone loved them. It was easy to make too.

I've made these several times and they are always a hit. My family now requests them for special occasions (ex: this Thanksgiving). They are a bit messy and a little time consuming, but they are definitely worth it. As we are big cheese fans, I almost double the shredded cheese in the mixture to make them gooyier to bite into. A great vegetarian appetizer.

This was a win/lose situation. I liked it, my husband didn't... I thought this was the only recipe I've tried to make eggplant tasty. My husband thought it tasted like rotten meat balls. I also Hate frying with bread crumbs, I think really well smashed saltines (+ flour, etc.) work better. I wouldn't recommend or not recommend this, I'd say try it with an open mind or don;t try it at all.

I loved it. I used roasted garlic, pepper and onion and dipped it in marinara. This is a great recipe. I was on the lookout for eggplant reciptes. Thanks again!

I'm new to cooking, and found this recipe somewhat difficult and extremely messy. The "mixture" that these ingredients create is goopy and gets all over the place. The result was good, but not great.

We just got done eating these for dinner & could not wait to get online & review these...YUMMY! I had an eggplant I did not know what to do with & it was getting old. Came online & looked up recipes last night & found this - I had all the ingredients already so it was perfect. I did the advance work last night & then put it in the fridge. Rolled them & cooked them tonight. My husband is out late so he didn't get to try them but my 22 month old twins LOVED them, and the big surprise was my son who normally will not allow a veggie to pass his lips! Some things I changed - I used fresh wholewheat breadcrumbs I ground in my food processor - I used about 5 slices. I needed more egg in the dipping procedure & I also added more cheese than it called for - I am going to guess I added almost 3/4 cup. This made them perfect. Thanks so much for this recipe!!!

Wonderful! I had to add a bit more bread crumbs to make the texture stiffer, but I may not have drained the eggplant thoroughly. Drain the egplant REALLY well and you might not have to add the extra. Very tasy way to use eggplant thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!

have to admit, these were very good. i love trying different recipes using eggplant, and yours was definitely worth making again and again.

VERY good, and sooo easy. Nany510
