Instructions: * Peel it, slice it into 1/2 inch rounds & soak in water for at least a couple of hours or overnight (takes out bitterness)

If you ever ate at a Wyatts Cafeteria, this is a clone of an eggplant stuffing they used to serve all the time. Dont stuff it in a bird!

Drain the eggplant & chop into cubes. Pour oil in frying pan & saute eggplant, when it turns soft, add onion & celery & pepper and saute some more. Mix eggplant with bread cubes & stir up. Mix in eggs, spices then toss in 3/4 cup of cheese. Oil up a baking dish & put the stuff in.

Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Bake at 350 until it firms up.

Generally, about 30 minutes.

This is a dry dressing. You can put more cheese in it if you want. If you want it wetter, add some chicken stock.

Ive fed this to folks who dont like eggplant and they like this. Use lots of sage. You can spice it up with other herbs too. Use jalapenos for a hotter taste.
