I didnt have japanese eggplant, so I used regular eggplant, buying the smallest ones I could find. I used fresh instead of canned tomato, and italian bread crumbs! I browned the tops and then put a few thin chunks of fresh mozz. cheese on top, and broiled til it was melted and a bit browned. Served this as a vegetarian meal and it was a huge hit. Thanks so much!!!!!
