Eggplant (Aubergine) and Tomato Crisp

"I got this from the Delicious Living magazine (Oct. 2006). They have quite a few good recipes this month. I used sourdough bread for the breadcrumbs since I had a ton of it and it still turned out great. Not sure if the sourdough made it better or not. Have to try it the regular way too. I also used all dry seasonings, instead of fresh. It's a little time consuming, but great on a fall day. Oh, don't bother to peel the eggplant. It was fine unpeeled."

  • Sprinkle over vegetables.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

  1. This was really quite tasty! I used just one large eggplant and added a zucchini I had left over. I am so glad I used fresh breadcrumbs - it didn't specify what kind of breadcrumbs and I think that dried breadcrumbs wouldn't have worked at all. It was a really enjoyable meal and I'd definitely make it again - But next time I'd use less bread crumbs (no more than 4 cups). It also reheated nicely in the microwave the next day. Thanks, WI Cheesehead!
     
  2. I made half the recipe and the only changes I made were to omit the cheese and not peel the eggplant. Oh my goodness, is it ever good! I noticed the flavor got even better as it cooled a bit, so next time I'll let it sit 10 minutes before digging in like you do for lasagna. (If we can wait that long!) So glad to have this recipe - thank you!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
