All you need for this cracker is:
- One aubergine per person
- One mozzarella per person
- Serrano ham
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
- Butter
- Parmesan
- Tomato sauce (you can make this yourself or use a good, prepared one! I used the one of Albert Heijn Excellence, since it does not contain any "bad" ingredients)
First cut your aubergine in thin slices. The thinner they are, the better it works later to roll them up. Cut your mozzarella into pieces and put it aside.
Then heat up some good olive oil in a big pan and start to bake your aubergine slices. Season them with salt and pepper and let them bake until they are gold brown from both sides. Then put the slices on some paper towels that the remaining fat can be soaked up.
Now you can start to make little rolls from aubergine, Serrano ham and mozzarella. Fix them with one or two toothpicks (and inform your guests about that... I speak from experience). Then place the rolls in a ovenproof dish, wich you greased with a bit of butter before.
Now top your rolls with the tomato sauce, the rest of the mozzarella and a bit parmesan. Put it in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 180-200 degrees (it really depends on the oven, so keep an eye on it).
Serve this delicious little bastards with a fresh baguette or chiabatta (for the people who need carbs and amazing to dip the sauce) or simply enjoy your guilt-free comfort food without.
I promise you that this will become a frontrunner in your kitchen you cannot get enough of!
