Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 2 quart baking dish (or 8x8 inch) with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Cook peeled, diced eggplant in boiling water until fork tender; drain well. (Be sure to drain the eggplant well after boiling so you don't have a runny eggplant casserole. )
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine cooked eggplant, beaten eggs, crushed crackers, milk, shredded cheese, melted butter and salt and pepper.
Step 4
Pour into prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
NOTE: Place the Ritz crackers in a zip-lock bag, and pound them with something heavy to crush or give them a quick pulse in a food processor.
