  1. I followed the recipe exactly, and was looking for a lighter version of eggplant rollatini. I liked that it wasn't breaded and fried first, but steamed briefly in the microwave instead. But I think texturally, it needed that breading first. I thought it was fine, but the other 4 people I served it to did not care for it. I did enjoy the filling, which is a lower fat version. So I will probably use this filling, but next time, I'll bread and fry the eggplant strips first. Then proceed according to directions. I did like that the instructions were very clear.
