The texture was like custard, the flavors were subtle and woven, it left me yearning for more now 30 years later.<br /><br />One point I've arrived at is that the cheese and tomato sauce need to be restrained to avoid the gloppy mess we usually serve. The other is that the eggplant probably should be pre-cooked in some fashion, and then the dish assembled and heated.<br /><br />I have the tomato and cheese parts of the equation to satisfaction, the search is now for how to impart the eggplant with the subtlety of texture and flavor. It may be in the quality of the breadcrumbs and oil, but my sense is that it was somehow made absorbent and took up a significant amount of egg, and the egg may have been a custard rather than just whipped egg.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959036592212401596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-21138477607382850432016-03-13T16:26:10.984-04:002016-03-13T16:26:10.984-04:00Chef John your awesome!

Since my eggplants were a little small, I used three and did not fill them taco style but just layered them lasagna style. I will definitely make it again, when I get my hands on ricotta again. Or I'll try with German Quark when I'm back. Thanks for all your recipes. Each I have tried turned out delicious!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11273979410757820528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-8710208881106954692014-10-14T16:27:44.001-04:002014-10-14T16:27:44.001-04:00Ever thought of making Eggplant Lasagna?

I used some Fontina and Pecorino Sardo cheese I had on hand, along with Parmigiano-Reggiano. I also softened the eggplant rounds on a very hot grill pan. I used passata (thin, uncooked tomato sauce in a bottle common here in Italy) for the sauce, but since it's quite plain, I sauteed a diced onion for a few minutes before adding the garlic and diced eggplant and then added some dry oregano when I added the passata. <br /><br />The end result was wonderful. This is now on my "keeper" list.Robertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011557734566610137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-21123346835271177912014-07-24T04:44:39.341-04:002014-07-24T04:44:39.341-04:00Try partially cooking the eggplant slices on a scr...Try partially cooking the eggplant slices on a screaming hot grill pan.

I hope this spring and summer people make this dish (the right way!) and Chef John copyrights it or something…<br /><br />P.S. There is nothing worse than under cooking eggplants folks. Don't be afraid to let 'em cook.
