"First Lady's (Roselynn Carter) recipe was posted in a magazine years ago. "Eggplant lends itself to casseroles as it becomes soft and take up flavors easily." This is a mild casserole. Feel free to add Italian herbs to taste. This is from old Georgia, they liked milder flavors lol. Can also use Swiss, but Jimmy Carter was allergic to Swiss cheese his favorite was rat trap cheddar cheese ( swiss is what some recipes use, she probably changed the cheese up to give variety). Gruyere or vegan cheese may be used. Use margarine instead of butter if going vegan and GF breadcrumbs for gluten free diet. Mrs Carter is very health conscious. Serve with pasta or spaghetti squash."
