Expert Tips

The peak season for eggplant is generally August and September, but they usually are available all year. Choose eggplants that are firm and smooth skinned with no soft or wrinkled spots.

My husband loves eggplant and I've never cooked with it before so I wanted to try something simplistic for my first attempt. He LOVED it! I substituted the provolone cheese for swiss because that is my husband's favorite cheese and I knew he'd like it better. I did cut the eggplant a little thicker though than the recipe calls for and glad I did because eggplant cooks VERY fast in the skillet. My presentation was even like the picture! Easy, quick, and delicious!!
