I too am not the biggest fan of eggplant... The same for okra though, okra I haven't tried to make and kind of made my peace and we said our good byes a long time ago... The fact that my bride loves eggplant so much, has made me really try my hardest to enjoy it.. These eggplants were destined to be smoked babaganoush but, oh well.. they were close to turning..
The lack of tomato sauce, the custard in the ricotta, it all felt very french.. if there was no mozarella, it would have been very french... the thin fried slices held their shape, the texture added by the ricotta being reinforced with egg... it was all really good.. This could be served hot or cold... I just have had it out on the counter since lunch and well, ate another slice moments ago... In retrospect, the fact that I have three packs of different sausages in my fridge, a little sausage layer would have been really good.. obviously, less french, obviously much more american.. But, yeh, sausage in this would have been really good.. though, there is rarely a time where a little sausage wouldn't be the worst thing in the world..
