Had this on a trip to Poland, and I decided to try it out myself. This was the only recipe I could find on here using eggplant, and it turned out great. Make sure that your eggplant is large enough and that you slice it thinly so it rolls well. Also, I had left over cheese so I baked that separately and used it for a pasta topping along with marinara.
