These baked eggplant polpetti are a bit like falafel. Instead of the bulgur and chickpeas I used eggplant and oats. Since everything is better with cheese I decided to hide a little nugget of feta inside each one. These healthy bites are great as a snack, hors d'ouevres, or even part of a main meal by stuffing in a pita or as a vegetarian sub for meatballs with spaghetti. If you're vegan just eliminate the cheese. Eat them plain, with tomato sauce, tahini, hummus, or any other dip you like. You can also make them ahead and just reheat in the oven when you're ready to eat them. <br /> <br />[Note] You don't want to use the rolled oats straight out of the box/can. You need to chop them a bit in a food processor, 3 or 4 pulses will do.
