    I like cutting the in 1/2 inch circles and coating them with breadcrumbs and making mini pizzas out of it. Good stuff.

    My mom used to cut it in slices, dip it in egg and flour and fry it. Serve with fat free garlic sauce. If you will use egg whites and (I don't know a low calorie version of flour) and bake them...I'm sure they will be better.

    slice the eggplant long ways to make thin lasagna like strips, blanch and use as noodles and do lasagna rollups or stuff with other fun fillings as roll ups and bake

    bake them whole, peel them off, put them in the blender, add some seasoning and either mayo or sour cream...makes a great spread.

    i'll slice it semi-thin, brush with olive oil, salt & pepper. Toss on grill until it's almost like chips. Yums!

    Slightly off topic, but I bet you could do this with zucchini, too! Rollups may be hard unless you had HUGE zuc, but a lazagne would be dang tasty, I'd think.

    Okay, we now return you to your regularly scheduled eggplant.

    Ratatouille is great, and so is Low-fat Moussaka--just make the bechamel with skim milk, broil the eggplant instead of frying it, and cut back on any cheese in the recipe! Last time I did that it came out just great.
