I found this recipe to be mediocre. I used prepackaged Italian bread crumbs for the topping, and I think fresh bread crumbs might've worked better. And more oil or butter added to the breadcrumbs. The onions weren't very tender after a 30-minute bake. I wouldn't make the recipe again.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. My onions weren't done and plain crumbs made it, well, plain. I wouldn't try it again. I

This was excellent! I'm surprised the previous reviews have not been 5 stars. Definitely, an all-time favorite now! To reduce the fat, I baked the eggplant slices rather than frying them in oil. I also separated the half rings of onion when I layered them. I used homemade Italian-style breadcrumbs, too. I chose to serve it on the cool size of room temperature--perfect!

This is really tasty. Everyone wanted the recipe. I added maple flavored balsamic vinegar, just because that's what I had. Cut the onions and tomatoes very thin! It was great.

This has become one of my favorite recipes. I added a little sauteed fresh garlic and bell pepper. I also put 4 slices of provolone cheese under the bread crumbs. Yummy!

This was very good, but i think i would prefer to serve it as a side dish instead of the main dish. To avoid undercooked onions, i sauteed them a little in some cooking spray. I did the same with the eggplant (no oil). I used a lot of onion, too. On the top, i sprinkled basil, paprika, and cayenne pepper (you could just use italian seasoned breadcrumbs). Then i drizzled it with pumpkin seed oil, instead of mixing it with olive oil. Very good, but a kind of weird texture. Not to serve to guests, i don't think. Just a family meal.

My husband and I took one bite and both spit it back out. It's just eggplant, tomato, and onion soaked in vinegar!

I did not like this at all, and neither did my husband. It has a very strong vinegar flavor. I love eggplant, but I couldn't even taste it. And for an 8" pan, I think that 1 cup of breadcrumbs is too much. There was a thick layer of the crumbs just sitting on top.

Ok, so I really changed this recipe. I put bread crumbs and cheese on top over every level of the eggplant. I also used white wine in place of the vinegar. My husband thought it was "incredable".

I made this for dinner tonight and thought it was terrible. The individuals who favored this dish added different components. As is, this dish needs some work. I will not make this again.
