Almost, But Not Quite, My Mother’s Eggplant Casserole



  • 1 eggplant, peeled, chopped, and boiled in salted water until soft.
  • 2 - 4 handfuls Trader Joe’s Social Snackers cracker crumbs (my mother uses Ritz, her hands are larger than mine, she only needs two handfuls, mine are smaller and I need four, and yes, I did forget to measure them except by the handful).
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese (my mother uses 3 inches of Velveeta).
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 4 TBSPS Butter, melted.
Mix all ingredients together. Bake in buttered casserole dish at 350F for 45 minutes (my mother says 30 - 45 minutes). 

I served this with a lettuce salad, for dinner. I believe my mother considers it a side dish (my dad is not what you would call a real big believer in meatless meals).
