finished eating this. It was absolutely wonderful. I would change a couple of things that I did however. I overlapped my eggplant when I layered. This made it harder to serve. I think next time I'll lay the rounds down flat with a tomato on each one, then use more cheese. The dish looks fantastic too. Nice colors. I'd take a picture, but I can't find my camera. I wonder why I'm not worried about that. Anyway, this one's a keeper.

A helpful hint

Hi,
If you cook eggplant, make sure you heavily salt both sides of the cut eggplant and let sit for an hour. When you come back, you'll find a ton of water drops. Wipe off, rinse and dry. That'll take the bitterness out of the eggplant.

Yeah

That's a great tip. I normally do that, but I did not this time. I couldn't taste any bitterness, but that may be because of the feta cheese covering it up.
I found my camera!!

It looks like the bottom of Dayv's vegetable drawer just before he cleans it out every year.

That looks like a nasty infection. Better get it checked out.
