Baked Eggplant Casserole

Submitted by Reggie 2

"I found this on cooks.com. It is not the standard eggplant casserole. It is quiche like. Cooking time includes cooking the eggplant, and the green pepper and onion mixture. This makes a large casserole. I modified it to my family's tastes. I could not list the pizza seasonings blend I used in place of the dried oregano. It is a mixture of oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram and garlic. I used it in place of the dried oregano and used 1 tsp verses the 1/8 tsp."

You are correct; this is not like the standard eggplant casseroles. It's very good and has a nice texture. You really wouldn't know you were eating eggplant. This makes a lovely side dish when you're in the mood for something out of the ordinary. Thanx for sharing!

Sorry, but I was disappointed in this recipe. I expected it to have a bite due to the eggplants, but unfortunately it did not...
