Time 2h15m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds eggplant
8 ounces feta cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 tablespoons matzoh meal
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
5 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus more for the baking dish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Prick the eggplants repeatedly with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake, turning to prevent burning, for 45 minutes. Cool. Peel or scoop out the flesh into a colander. Drain and press out the juices, then chop the flesh with a knife and mash it with a fork.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mash the feta cheese. Add the eggs, matzoh meal, 5 tablespoons of the Gruyere and 4 tablespoons of the oil. Beat well.
  • Add the eggplant and mix. Pour the mixture into an oiled baking dish, drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil over the mixture, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 1 hour, until lightly colored.
