i baked the eggplant for about 10minutes before hand, and even the 30 minutes in the oven was not enough, i added an additional 10-15. The mixture between the eggplant was a bit mushy (did not use the heavy cream since I am lactose intolerant), but it did taste pretty good despite expecting a different, more crunchy consistency....the olives add a nice kick.
