Everyone LOVED it!June 22, 2008By jcarp6501
"I made this dish the first time to use our fresh picked eggplant and take to a friend's house to accompany fresh grilled swordfish. The only modification I made was to add 1 1/2 teapoons of Tony Chachere's creole seasoning to the breadcrumbs. Everyone raved about this dish...and now I need to make my minor modification and print out multiple copies! Thanks!"
