Directions
Cheeseless Eggplant (Aubergine) Gratin, You can slice and salt the eggplant ahead, but the baking method significantly reduces the amount of oil they will absorb This is a great first course, and goes well on the side of meat or fish Courtesy Claudine , The topping on this was excellent but the eggplant itself turned out rather chewy I probably won’t make this again but if I do I will definitely cook the eggplant until it’s mushy , Fabulous! I love eggplant and there never seems to be many ways to make it that are simple and tasty These were great, I needed a little more oil in the pan to cook the eggplant but other than that they turned out perfect, and they looked like a gourmet sidedish They were so pretty with the stuffing on top
