An easy and quick way to prepare eggplant, and tasty too! I serve it with sliced fresh tomatoes, fresh green beans and bread and butter. An inexpensive meal from my childhood and still a favorite!

Eggplant centers are cooked with onion, garlic, and seasonings, then re-stuffed into the eggplant, coated with tomato sauce, cheese, and bread crumbs, and baked until tender and bubbly.

This is a rich, substantial meal when served with pita or crusty bread and salad. It gets better with time and makes a popular leftover, if there are any leftovers!

This eggplant goes well with some steamed green beans and French or Italian bread. Although the recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs, you can use regular bread crumbs if you wish. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste.

This is a very simple, quick and more importantly authentic Indian side dish of grilled eggplant and tomato. Best served with naan or roti. It should have a consistency of, um, well, 'mush' when finished, but it's good.

Really, really good. Will make you an eggplant lover. Cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic and onion are mixed in with the cooked eggplant and formed into patties. A few minutes in hot oil and you have your croquettes.
