Baked Eggplant (Aubergine) Ala Ce Ce With Tomato Mushroom Gravy
"The breading & baking recipe is from Ce Ce on recipezaar. She used on green tomatoes. They are to die for. I decided to use on eggplant and use my own tomato mushroom gravy or sauce. I think my eggplant is great with Ce Ce's breading recipe."

I was looking forward to prepare this dish as my DH and I love eggplant and mushrooms. The suggested idea of baking the eggplant is very good tasty and healthy. Unfortunately the gravy was disappointing. I found it tasteless even thought I added a splash of Lee & Perrins Sauce and pepper. My husband liked it. I asked him to rata the recipe in a scale of 1 -5 he said 4 and I liked 3. I will be baking the eggplant again but I will look to dress up these guys with something a little more tasteful or exotic. Thank you again -
Thought this eggplant recipe was great. They are even nice plain as "eggplant chips" dipped in tomato sauce. A nice crisp outside texture with non of the high fat! I served it with chicken breast and a small serving of pasta. -
What an easy and more healthy way to prepare eggplant instead of frying. The gravy is wonderful! The only substitution I made was to use Splenda Blend instead of sugar. I made these for dinner tonight and everyone loved them!! I'll be making this recipe again.

My passion is cooking, my grandchildren and living each day like it were my last. I love to drive the big rigs. I lived all over the world for a time and collected dolls and cookbooks. I write poetry. My other passions are the outdoors, country living, the sunrises and sunsets,to give to others more than I receive as it says in the Bible. As I get older I am less judgemental.I hope I have helped someone each and every day.
