How can I punch a hole in an Eggplant slice?

[tomwed]

I want to make little eggplant appetizers. I want to cut a 1 1/2" diameter circle out of a 1/4" slice of eggplant. I'll pan fry the little slices in olive oil, add some fire roasted tomato chunks and sprinkle a little mozzarella on top and finish in the broiler.

How can I punch the circles? I could go to a hardware store and buy a copper fitting but would that be safe? Pots are made of copper.

Maybe there is a small can I can buy. A tomato paste can is too big I think.

thank-you
that sounds like the right size. i don't own one. do you think it is sharp enough? and isn't it tapered?

should do the trick...is tapered down toward the bottom...methinks the opening should approximate the size you want for appetizers.

Fluted or round cookie cutter would be sharper. I think the finer edge would cut eggplant easier. They came in many sizes and I am sure one would be good for your use

A biscuit cutter would work perfectly they come in many sizes usually in a set. For around four dollars or five dollars

Pineapple core cutter ....... Appetizers sound yummy any samples ?
