Eggplant that isn't breaded and fried! The cooking time for this recipe is for a large eggplant....if you use the smaller japanese style eggplant, reduce the broiling time.

I'm not sure what happened, but my eggplant turned out bitter. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe is a waste of time. The eggplant was watery and flavorless.
