What you'll need.

  • 2 eggplants, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 100 ml cream
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • Oil for frying

How to make it.

  1. Slice the eggplants, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
  2. Whisk together the eggs, cream, minced garlic, grated parmesan, chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry into a baking dish.
  4. Layer the roasted eggplant and sliced mozzarella over the pastry.
  5. Pour the egg and cream mixture on top.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes at 180°C (350°F), until golden and set. Let it rest a few minutes before slicing.

My tips.

Salting the eggplant before roasting draws out moisture for a firmer bite. Let the bake rest before cutting so the filling holds together.

Good to know.

Can I make it ahead?
Roast the eggplant ahead, then assemble and bake when ready.

Can I use store-bought pastry?
Yes, ready-rolled puff pastry works perfectly.

Is it vegetarian?
Yes. Use a vegetarian hard cheese in place of parmesan if needed.
