Jeff's Eggplant

I have given this dish the above name because Jeff, who is not known as a big lover of vegetables, seemed to enjoy it the other night when he was over. Maybe he was just being polite?

1 medium eggplant, peeled and cut vertically into thin slices
6 oz. of crumbled feta cheese (I used "garlic flavored")
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup or so of my seasoned breadcrumbs


Salt the eggplant slices, put in a colander and weight down for about an hour. Rinse off and dry. Place them on a foil covered cookie sheet, brush with a mixture of oil and vinegar and place under the broiler. When one side is browned, turn the slices over and repeat above procedure.

Drain the slices on paper when cooked. Make one layer of slices in a casserole dish. sprinkle the feta cheese, the breadcrumb and some additional olive oil. Continue with a second (or third) layer. End with breadcrumb and olive oil. Bake in a hot 350 oven for 20-30 minutes. The amounts of the last 4 ingredients obviously depend on the size of the eggplant, as does the cooking time.

Enjoy!
