After browsing trusted recipe sites, blogs and the like, I can't seem to find much more than the said lasagna, ratatoullie and grilled eggplant sandwiches, which I know Chris would not appreciate. That is until I found this Eggplant Bruschette recipe which sounds pretty amazing!
Hmm, I'm still not sure, though I need to make a decision quickly before my eggplant goes bad! Any suggestions from you brilliant cooking minds? I would really appreciate you throwing any great recipe ideas my way.

that sounds very yummy! i've never made anything with eggplant before
I recently discovered that I love eggplant, it took me to go all the way to Asia to find it out :)
I use it in a variation of a vegetable medley that my sister Marci and I would make.
1-2 cloves of minced garlic
1 cup of spinach
1 bell pepper- (I prefer orange since it adds great color and sweetness)
1 tomato
1 eggplant (though it depends on the size here in Taiwan they are quite thin)
You can also add either a zucchini or small yellow squash
Cut everything up into small strips/pieces. Throw everything except for the eggplant into a baking dish with a little olive or grape-seed oil. It's best to cook the eggplant separately so that it does not get slimy from the tomato juice. Cook at 400f for about 15-20 min depending on how small the pieces are. 5 min before taking it out sprinkle it with Parmesan or Romano cheese. And voila!
I love it as it's own meal but it is also great as a side dish with chicken.
Something to note is that as good as it is when you take it out of the oven, it does not make the best leftovers :(
Oh, thanks Becky! Sounds delicious!!
