Mini Eggplant Mozzarella Wrap Rolls

Crispy, cheesy, and packed with Mediterranean flavor—these mini rolls are perfect for parties, snacks, lunchboxes, or light dinners.

 Ingredients (Serves 4–6 | Makes ~10–12 rolls)

For the Eggplant

• 2 medium eggplants, sliced lengthwise (¼-inch thick)
• 1 tsp salt (for sweating eggplant)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning

For the Filling

• 1½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
• ½ cup ricotta cheese (optional, for creaminess)
• 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (or parsley)
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

For Wrapping

• 10–12 mini tortillas or wraps
  (You can also use lavash or thin flatbread)

Optional Toppings

• Marinara sauce (for dipping)
• Chili flakes
• Balsamic glaze

 Instructions

1. Prepare the Eggplant
   Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and let rest 15 minutes to remove bitterness. Pat dry.
2. Cook the Eggplant
   Brush slices with olive oil and season with pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
   Grill or pan-cook on medium heat 2–3 minutes per side until soft and lightly golden.
3. Make the Filling
   In a bowl, mix mozzarella, ricotta (if using), basil, and Parmesan.
4. Assemble the Rolls
   Place a mini wrap flat. Add 1–2 eggplant slices, spoon cheese mixture on top, and roll tightly.
5. Crisp the Rolls
   • Pan method: Cook seam-side down in a lightly oiled pan until golden on all sides.
   • Oven method: Bake at 190°C / 375°F for 10–12 minutes until cheese melts.
6. Serve
   Slice in halves, drizzle balsamic glaze if desired, and serve with warm marinara sauce.

 Q & A

Q1: Can I make these ahead of time?
 Yes. Assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours, then cook before serving.

Q2: Can I freeze them?
 Best frozen after cooking. Reheat in oven or air fryer for crisp texture.

Q3: Why are my rolls soggy?
 Eggplant wasn’t cooked enough or wraps were too thick. Always pre-cook eggplant.

Q4: Can I use zucchini instead of eggplant?
 Absolutely! Zucchini works great and cooks faster.

Q5: Are these good for weight loss?
 Yes—especially without wraps or using low-carb wraps.

 Pro Tips

• Thin eggplant slices roll best
• Mix mozzarella + Parmesan for stronger flavor
• Serve immediately for melty cheese pull
• Great for reels, platters, and party trays
