I slice an eggplant on the round about an inch or so thick (your choice), olive oil on both sides and put on a sheet pan. Put in ~400 degree oven and cook about 10-15 minutes (depends on thickness and I like the bottom to get a little brown). Remove from oven and turn each piece over, apply sauce, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and whatever other toppings you may want. Put back in oven until cheese is melted. The eggplant DOES get soft!!! Some people don't like that consistency, but we like it.

It's funny, one summer my dad went on an eggplant cooking kick because his mother used to make eggplant, and he ended up giving up, and saying, "I might as well be cooking cardboard."

But we ate a lot of eggplant that summer.

Good luck. It took me a bit of adjusting and trial-and-error to get it the way we like it, but I think it was worth the effort.

Dinner tonight - leftovers. lol

Finally tried the cauliflower pizza crust recipe... eh. LOL. It was somewhat labor-intensive and timely. The crust did NOT crisp up the way I thought the recipe said it would. But it actually tastes decent. Not sure I'll try it again, though.

We had a big shrimp salad.

Today will be chicken in gravy, with roasted cauliflower and a rice/quinoa combo.

We will probably have another big salad with the leftover grilled salmon from Saturday night.

I'm on the "too damn hot to cook/eat plan."
