Eggplants!!!! You either love them or hate them, but if you are in the "hate them" group, I implore you to try this recipe before you finally make up your mind. The success of this recipe is in the tomato sauce. What you need here is a deep, rich, reduced and chunky tomato sauce.
I use the same sauce as for my pasta, but make sure that the sauce is thick and chunky and not watery at all. For the tomato sauce recipe, simply click here!
Eggplant with Three Cheeses
Ingredients (4 people)
1 large egg plant - try and find a "long" shape, it makes a better "roll"
300gr mozzarella cheese-grated
2 rings of feta cheese - cut into long strips - about 1cmx 1cm
about 500ml tomato sauce
salt and pepper to taste
dried oregano
100gr parmesan cheese-grated
olive oil
Preheat oven to 180 C
This weekend I had 2 big functions and catered for just over 600 people. Every time I do this, it gets a little bit easier and less stressful. Planning is key and a good team of assistance is a blessing beyond measure!

Those eggplant rolls look good!
I had a bad experience with eggplant when I was a kid and haven't given them a second chance. This recipe makes me want to try it again!
I'm in the 'dont like them' group. But you are making me want to try this recipe! You present it so beautifully!
Nina, 1st: I LOVE EGGPLANT!

catering party and need help just call me ok? I will be there in a heart bit!!! haha
No need to convince me Nina. I know these were delicious:D
This looks fabulous - I just love eggplant dishes, I'm always looking for new ways to make it!
I love eggplant, and yours look so tempting.

I could live on eggplant, and yours fabulous to me! Pass the fork please!
Also I applaud you for your massive catering jobs!! How do you do it all???
Oh my! This is soooo good! My hubby doesn't like eggplant but I think he'll love this. Will make this for our Valentine dinner. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe!!!
Mmm, no need to convince me - I love eggplant! And with tomato and cheese, how can you go wrong?? As for men... they have a knack for liking the stuff that takes you 5 minutes to make and ignoring the stuff that took 2 days. Aaarrrgh!
Wow. 600 in one weekend. Kudos to you. I hope you took a day or two off to relax.
The eggplant dish looks delicious. I know what you mean about your hubby liking the simple dishes. I could spend two days making a masterpiece. It would be equally received to something I threw together. Kind of frustrating. But, I guess it does relieve you from some of the time and effort it takes to make some dishes.
what a nice recipe. look so good and yummy :)
I love eggplant and I love these rolls. Have made something similar and I agree with Mr Timm, this is the nicest food you have every made!
Those aubergine rolls look so delicious!! By the way, I really like your foodblog, it ROCKS!!!
Wow! That's a ton of people. Glad you pulled it off!
I love eggplant. It's probably one of my favorite foods. This looks fantastic!
I adore eggplant, so I am easy to convince here! Eggplant was just born to be served with tomato - this looks like my kind of food Nina! Yum!
Add me to the list of eggplant lovers and the ingredients here speak to my Greek tastes.
Hi Nina! How are you? Your table looks bountiful and beautiful! It looks like the 600 were in very capable and talented hands by the look of that spread.It's nice to see pictures of you. To put a face to all the nice words you leave scattered across the food blog world.
And the eggplant! I love it! Are you sure you're not Italian? ;)
Be well my dear.
