1/2 tbs. baking powder
dash veg. salt (or reg.)
1/3 cup milk
5 tbs. olive oil (or reg.)
1 large eggplant

l. Combine cheeses with one egg yolk - save egg white
2. Add parsley and salt - blend well
3. Beat one egg white stiff - blend in
4. Chill mixture - 15 minutes
5. flour, baling powder, milk, remaining egg and 1 tbs. oil - beat well into batter
6. peel egg plant
7. Cut in half longways and slice longways 1/16" thick
8. Flour lightly - dip in batter mixture
9. Brown lightly in oil - drain
10. Place cheese on slices of eggplant and roll up
11. Place in oiled bake dish @ 375 degrees for 15 minutes
(can use tomato sauce in casserole or on the side if desired)

God bless you. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
