Written by Marie Nygren, Posted in Recipes
Ingredients:
- 1 medium eggplant
- 2 cups of water
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon of grated white onion
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Peel and cut 1 medium eggplant into 1-inch cubes. Bring 2 cups of water & 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Add eggplant, simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Drain and mash. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of pulp.
Cut crusts off 1 slice of white bread. Soak bread in 3/4 cup of milk.
Add to the milk and bread:
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1 tablespoon of grated white onion
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper
- Eggplant Pulp
Mix well, and pour into 1-quart buttered baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees on the middle rack until souffle seems “set” in the middle, 30-45 minutes.
