It's a great-tasting recipe! How can you go wrong w/ all those wonderful ingredients? Be forewarned...it certainly is not quick nor easy. Peeling, slicing, sweating, drying, dipping, breading, baking and then turning the eggplant is so time consuming and the reason why I just order it when I go out! Is it worth all this effort? Hmmmmm?

I made this last night and DH and I both agreed that it was a great tasting and flavorful vegetarian dish and definitely a 'keeper'! We LOVED the spiciness and texture. Mine didn't turn out mushy at all. I cooked yellow crooked neck squash separately and added later but next time, I will just throw it in w/ the cauliflower! I like the idea of serving it over something...maybe WW couscous? Delicious and great comfort food for a cold winter night!

These are fabulous!!! DH says they are the best 'brownies' he's ever eaten! This is what I did to avoid the messy mingling of the preserves and cream cheese mixture: I pressed a little more than half of the cake mixture into a 13 x 9" glass baking dish, spread preserves over it and then gently pressed the rest of the crumbly cake mixture on top and baked at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. It came out perfect. I let it cool and then made the vanilla chip/cr cheese topping and it spread easily. I had to swirl the melted choc. w/ the vanilla b/c it didn't cooperate very well and I couldn't drizzle it. It looked like a pricey bakery item like this! This tastes like the best dessert ever! You won't regret making it!
