YUM YUM! This sorta reminded me of a vegetarian moussaka but with different spices. It was CREAMY and FLAVORFUL and nice for a cold winters night. I used twice as much whole wheat flour and 1 percent milk. I think I will add the cheese at the end the next time because it burned. Freddy Cat says it was nice visiting you Parsley! Made for the Went to the Market game.

We loved this Parsley! I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, I use 2 huge eggplants from my garden and increased the garlic way up, and used half and half cream in place of milk, sprinkled the top with Parmesan cheese then added on the mozza cheese the last few minutes of baking, DELICIOUS! thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten
