"Since I love eggplant and kugel this sounded like a good combination. Using S'kar's recipe as a base, I really liked the results of this new creation. Nice colors and great served with beef."

The flavor was okay... but the instructions are VERY unclear. The ingredients don't list breadcrumbs, and as I didn't read through the recipe before making it, I had no idea how much of it to add. I wound up with more of a casserole than anything else. I skipped the oil, too. If the recipe is corrected, maybe I'd try it again. Thanks for posting!
