Boil the eggplant in boiling water until tender, about 15-20 minutes
Peel and puree the eggplant with a blender or food processor, along with the remaining ingredients, adding the cheese last
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour
Fry the mixture in low heat oil, dropping it by spoonfuls to form balls
Let them golden brown
If desired, you can make these fritters ahead of time and freeze them
To serve, let them come to room temperature, then bake them in a moderate oven (170°C) for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
