Sooo good, yummy and yes, easy to make. Halved and served with my Greek-Style Potatoes with Lemon and Thyme and a green salad, it was a perfect early-summer meal. In the interest of calories, next time I may try baking the eggplant slices (or at least drain them after frying). But the lovely taste of good olive oil is essential, so never mind. Thanks, food addict - this converted a non-eggplant lover.
