Aunt Mary'S Eggplant Balls

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

   Mix cheese, parsley, eggs, and bread crumbs into eggplant. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until ingredients are thoroughly combined and mixture can be rolled into balls. Add more bread crumbs as needed to make mixture workable. Refrigerate mixture for 15 minutes, then roll into balls or form into patties.
