- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

- Put about 1 tbsp of eggplant mixture on your clean palm. Put 1 piece of cheese cube at the center of the mixture. Cover the cheese all over with the mixture. Dip it to the breadcrumbs until completely coated. Roll into a ball using your clean hands. Repeat until all the mixture and cheese are consumed.
