EGGPLANT GRATIN
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat about 1/8-inch of olive oil in a very large frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is almost smoking, add several slices of eggplant and cook, turning once, until they are evenly browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Be careful, it splatters! Transfer the cooked eggplant slices to paper towels to drain. Add more oil, heat, and add more eggplant until all the slices are cooked.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the ricotta, egg, half-and-half, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
- In each of 2 individual gratin dishes, place a layer of eggplant slices, then sprinkle with Parmesan, salt and pepper and spoon 1/2 of the marinara sauce. Next, add a second layer of eggplant, more salt and pepper, half the ricotta mixture, and finally 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan on top.
- Place the gratins on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the custard sets and the top is browned. Serve warm.
BAUMANIERE'S EGGPLANT GRATIN (D'AUBERGINES BAUMANIERE)
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Prepare the eggplants: Peel and cut each eggplant lengthwise into slices one-eighth-inch thick. Use a pastry brush to brush the slices on each side with olive oil and place them on an oiled baking sheet. Bake until light brown on one side, five to 10 minutes. Turn and bake until light brown on the other side, about five more minutes. Check the eggplant frequently and remove the slices to a plate as they brown.
- Assemble the gratin: Cover the bottom of a shallow, five-cup porcelain gratin dish with a thin layer of tomato sauce. Sprinkle with minced herbs and cover with a layer of eggplant slices. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Continue in this manner until all of the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of tomato sauce.
- Bake until crispy and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FRENCH TIAN D' AUBERGINES - GRATIN OF AUBERGINES/EGGPLANT
Serves four people as a main course, or six to eight people as an accompaniment or starter. A Tian is a traditional ovenproof terracotta clay dish - usually oval - which is used extensively in the south of France. Many dishes are named after this dish in which they are cooked, and this is one of them. This wonderful dish with the essence of Summer from the S.W. of France can be served hot or tepid as a main course, with a tossed green salad & crusty French bread, or as an "Amuse Gueule" with aperitifs - the literal French translation is a snack to "amuse the mouth" for the main course which follows! You can make the fresh tomato sauce yourself, but most French housewives use the readily available & superb tinned & chopped tomatoes for ease & convenience; this speeds up the preparation of the dish considerably. The béchamel type sauce would be made with "Brousse" in France - strained Cottage cheese is a good alternative. A large Aubergine would be about 500g each.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 F/230 C or Gas Mark 8.
- Lightly grease the Tian or an oven proof dish with olive oil.
- Cook the aubergine slices in hot olive oil, turning as necessary until they are golden brown on both sides & well cooked through. Drain them well on absorbent paper & allow to cool before assembling the Tian.
- Cheese Custard: Beat together the cottage cheese, grated Italian cheese, eggs & crème fraiche. Season with salt & black pepper to taste.
- Mix the tinned tomatoes with the passata & add the grated or finely chopped garlic.
- Now you can start to assemble the Tian - start with a little of the tomato sauce & then some aubergine slices; tear the basil leaves into small pieces & scatter over with basil flowers if available. Keep layering the dish with the tomato sauce & aubergines & fresh basil until all the ingredients have been used.
- Pour over the cheese custard & decorate with the freshly sliced tomatoes. Bake in the oven for 35 - 45 minutes until golden brown & bubbling. Allow to cool & serve in slices. Delicious with fresh green salad leaves & crusty bread.

GRATIN D'AUBERGINES à L'ALGéRIENNE
Like many French Jews today, Jocelyne Akoun (see page 28) is a cultural amalgam. She grew up in a Turkish-Spanish family that lived in Algeria for many years before immigrating to Marseille. This dish could as easily be Provençal as Algerian, the tomatoes having been added when they came to the Old World with the discovery of the Americas.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and grease an ovenproof 9-by-12-inch casserole.
- Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise. Steam them for 5 minutes, or microwave them in a bowl for 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the size, until the interior is soft. When the eggplants are cool enough to handle, scoop out the pulp with a spoon into a colander, pressing out and discarding the water. Be careful to keep the shells intact.
- Chop the eggplant pulp, transfer it to a large bowl, and mix in all but 1/4 cup of the cheese. Taste, seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon the eggplant-and-cheese mixture into the shells, cover each with a thin slice of tomato, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and drizzle with olive oil.
- Place in the prepared casserole, and bake for 30 minutes. If the tops of the eggplants are not golden brown, put them under the broiler for a few minutes. Serve hot, accompanied by a big salad.

Tips:
- To ensure the eggplant is properly cooked, use a sharp knife to poke holes in the eggplant before baking. This will allow the steam to escape and prevent the eggplant from becoming mushy.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the eggplant and tomatoes by hand. Just make sure they are finely chopped so that they cook evenly.
- If you are using a low-moisture mozzarella cheese, you may need to add a little bit of milk or cream to the sauce to make it more creamy.
- Serve the eggplant gratin immediately after it is baked. It is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Baumaniere eggplant gratin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy sauce, tender eggplant, and flavorful cheese, this gratin is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
