This recipe came out okay. A little too much cracker, and it sort of washed out everything else. Also had trouble with too much liquid, so I would cut back on the milk. Alternatively, it could be because it should go in a larger dish to bake, but since no size guide was given I guessed. Could not taste the cheese, so next time I will wait until the end and sprinkle it on top. Hopefully it will turn out better next time.

I really loved this. In fact, I made it 2 days in a row. I took the first batch to a brunch, and the second to a family dinner. It was a big hit with all. I used skinny Italian eggplants, did not peel or salt them and there was no bitterness. I also used a yellow brick cheese instead of cheddar and garlic/herb seasoned bread crumbs instead of crackers. Yum!

YUM!! Thanks for a delicious dish. I diced the eggplat, salted it, and drained it for 30 minutes, then rinsed them with cold water. I followed the recipe, except I used butter and shallots instead of margarine and onions. I used breadcrumbs instead of cracker crumbs. I also topped the mixture with more breadcrumbs and butter before putting it in the oven. I baked this at 350 fahrenheit for only 30 minutes. It had a perfect creamy, buttery texture. I will most definately make this again. You made eggplant my new favorite vegetable(:

Since this has a rather soft texture, I think it makes a better side dish than main. Regardless, the flavour is very good. I salted the eggplant for one hour then drained, rinsed and patted it dry, used butter in place of the margarine, added some sea salt and plenty of cracked black pepper, and otherwise followed the recipe. I used Ritz crackers, and I sprayed some light olive oil onto the casserole dish before adding the eggplant mixture. I baked the dish for approximately 55 minutes, which was perfect. Thanks for a delicious recipe!

I loved this recipe, how ever I added 1 cup of summer squash and i cup of zuccini and sauted them along with the eggplant and onion. I also added a little more cheese and I used bread crumbs instead of crackers. It turned out great. It is always good to have a basic recipe that you can add too. Thank you for this one.
