2 eggplants in 1 week. That's a little harder than polishing off the baguette in 30 minutes.
I re-made week 6's 3 cheese stuffing with one less cheese, so let's call it
RECIPE 1
Eggplant Sandwiches with Cheese Stuffing
Combine 1/2 onion, diced, 1/2 pepper, diced, handful quartered cherry tomatoes, 1 ears-worth of corn, and muenster vubes. Salt, pepper, cilantro.
Sweat out extra moisture from eggplant by dusting with salt. Wipe off sweat, coat with olive oil, pepper, and throw on the indoor grill, medium-high heat. Turn after grillmarks show up, about 4 minutes a side.
Place half the eggplant on a baking sheet with foil, heap on a scoop of stuffing, and top with the other circles of eggplant. Top with parm!

RECIPE 2
"Baklazhanaya Ikra" Russian for "Pauper's Caviar"
This is a vegetarian spread where the eggplant seeds look a bit like caviar... I guess the commoners could afford this type.
Peel the eggplant, cut it into chunks, and steam it until tender, about 10 minutes. In olive oil saute a chopped onion, a chopped green pepper, and a clove or two of garlic. Add about 2T of either catsup or tomato paste, the eggplant, a teaspoon of sugar, and some salt and pepper. Puree it in a blender, pulsing just a few times.
Great used as a spread on bagel or pitas, or as a side for any dish.
Points!
