Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparing the eggplant steaks: Cut the eggplants into thick slices of about 2 cm. Steam these slices for 5 minutes, pat them dry, and season with pepper, salt, and possibly some herbs.

Breading the eggplants: Grind the cornflakes finely (for example, with a food processor). Dip the eggplant slices first in the flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in the finely crushed cornflakes.

Frying: Fry the breaded eggplants for 12 minutes in an air fryer at 200°C or 20 minutes in a preheated oven. In the last 2 minutes, add a slice of cheddar on each eggplant slice so the cheese can melt.

Sweet potato fries: Cut the sweet potatoes into fries and mix them with cornstarch, garlic powder, curry powder, paprika powder, and a little olive oil. Fry the fries for 12 minutes in the air fryer at 200°C, until crispy.

Making the burger sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, finely chopped onion, pickle, garlic powder, and paprika powder in a bowl.

Assembling the burgers: Cut the hamburger buns open and toast them briefly in a pan or toaster. Spread the burger sauce on the bottom half of the bun, add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, the cheesy eggplant steak, and pickles. Optionally, spread a little more sauce on the top half of the bun and press the burger closed.

Serving: Serve the burgers with the sweet potato fries. Enjoy!

Tips

For extra taste you can spice the eggplant with a mixture of garlic powder and paprika powder before you pan it. Add a dash of Sriracha to the hamburg sauce for a spicy twist. The sweet potato fries can also be prepared in the oven, bake them for about 25 minutes at 200 ° C.
