Very good but frying the eggplant in to oil makes it too greasy. Next time I will use non-stick spray and not precook the eggplant so long. I also added a little more parmesan in the ricotta mixture, and peeled the eggplant.

I have previously always hated eggplant. This was really good but I would tweek it a bit. We saw this on a repeat show last weekend and I asked my husband if he would like it, he got really excited. He has gout and we eat vegetarian dinners half the time. What I would change, not fry the eggplant- too oily. Bake or grill, I am going to use our pannini press for this. It needs a little more zing, I am going to add garlic, onions and fresh basil. I am also going to add a layer of mixed cheeses on the tomatoe sauce for more contrast. Bread crumbs on the top- it needs more texture. I am also going to add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the custard mix(for a double batch, it is what I do for quiche to make the custard a little smoother. Overall I was surprised by how much I liked it. It was not bitter at all- but I used small eggplants, and made a double batch in a standard glass 9x11 pan. I think I will slice the eggplant lengthwise to fit them closer together to make the layers more pronounced.

I loved Ina's recipe but agree that the eggplant sans breading soaks up too much olive oil. Next time I will spray EVOO on the slices and broil them. I think it will taste every bit as good without excess oil.
Love you Ina...my fav Food

I was wondering how one can tell if the eggplant skin will be tough after cooking. Sometimes it is tender...sometimes it is tough. The last time I made eggplant parmesan the skin was so tough it really ruined the dish. I noticed the eggplants she was using were not large and I wonder if that is the ticket? I will make this over the weekend and use small eggplants and hope they have tender skins.

Has anyone ever made this with slices of fresh tomato instead of sauce?

I wasn't too sure about this recipe because I have never cooked eggplant before and I didn't know if it would turn out alright, but it was delicious. My husband and I loved it, and he is Italian and picky about his Italian food, and he approved so that is a good sign : I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone, and I did bake the eggplant first instead of frying it and I'm glad I did. Thanks for such a delicious meal!!
