Prepare the eggplant:
Slice the eggplant into round discs. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the slices and mix well. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 20-30 ml of vegetable oil. Once hot, fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
Prepare the cheese and vegetables:
Grease a box grater with a little oil to prevent the cheese from sticking. Grate the cream cheese. Dice the tomatoes and mince the garlic clove.
Mix the seasonings:
In a bowl, combine the grated cream cheese, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, dried parsley, mustard, and mayonnaise. Mix well.
Assembly:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Grease a sheet of parchment paper with a little vegetable oil and place it on a baking sheet.
Are the fried eggplant slices on the greased parchment paper. Spread the cheese and tomato mixture over each slice.
Lightly beat the egg and brush it over the top. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and sesame seeds, if using.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and heated through.
Enjoy your delicious baked eggplant dish!
