EGGPLANT AND TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• 1. Line a lightly oiled 9- or 10-inch tart pan with the dough. Using a fork, pierce at regular intervals to allow for even baking. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to prebake and fill. 2. Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the eggplant about 1/3 inch thick and toss with salt to taste and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Line 1 to 2 baking sheets with foil and brush the foil with olive oil. Lay the eggplant slices on the foil in 1 layer. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the slices are soft when pierced with a knife and browned in spots. Remove from the oven and carefully fold the foil up over the eggplant slices. Crimp the edges of the foil and allow the eggplant to steam for another 15 to 20 minutes. It should now be completely cooked. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. 3. Beat together the eggs in a medium bowl. Set the tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush lightly brush the bottom of the crust with the beaten egg and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. 4. Whisk the milk into the eggs. Add salt (I usually use about 1/2 teaspoon) and pepper. Spread 1/4 cup tomato sauce over the bottom of the crust. Top with a layer of eggplant slices. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon one third of the remaining sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with thyme, Parmesan, and half of the Gruyère. Repeat the layers one or two more times, depending on the size of your eggplant slices, ending with the Gruyère. Pour on the egg and milk mixture. It should seep down into the layers; if it looks like it's not moving and going to overflow the crust, use a fork to create some holes. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top and sprinkle remaining thyme over the tomatoes. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until bubbling and browned on the top and edges. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

MELITZANOPITA (GREEK PIE USING EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) )

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté eggplant and onion, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is soft and has become almost a puree, about 20 minutes.
• Add bacon or ham, tomato paste and salt and pepper (careful with the salt - it may not seem like a lot but the bacon and the cheese, that will be added later will add a lot more), and cook another 5 minutes. You may have a dark brown film on the bottom of your skillet (I do not use non-stick surfaces - only stainless steel). You will find that this scrapes up easily once you turn off the heat and the eggplant puree starts to cool. Do scrape it back into the puree with a spoon as this is highly-flavoured and helps the overall taste (if it doesn't scrape easily in the beginning, just wait a couple of minutes longer). Allow to cool.
• Note: The eggplant puree can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before continuing with recipe.
• In a large bowl, combine well eggplant puree, feta, eggs, parsley and mint. Taste a small amount of the filling to decide if you would like it a bit saltier.
• Preheat oven to 390°F.
• Butter bottom and sides of a 15 X 11 inch baking pan. Stagger sheets of phyllo in pan, brushing each sheet with olive oil as you position it in the pan.
• When you have used half the sheets of phyllo pastry, empty the filling into the pan and spread it out evenly.
• Continue staggering the remaining sheets of phyllo over top, brushing each one with olive oil as you position it in the pan. Tuck in any overhang you have and give a last generous brushing of olive oil to the whole pie.
• With a sharp knife, score the pie lengthwise into 4 strips, and then score into 4 strips crosswise (resulting in 16 pieces of pie). DO NOT CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH PHYLLO - JUST THE TOP LAYERS.
• Generously sprinkle the pie with some tap water using your fingertips (run your hand under the tap and sprinkle the water over the pie - do about 5 of these sprinkles - this results in a crisper, crunchier crust).
• Brush pie with egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake for 1 hour, or until pie is a golden-brown. You may need to reverse pan back to front midway through baking.
• Allow to cool 15-20 minutes before cutting into. Personally, I like this pie just warm or at room temperature.
• Enjoy.

EGGPLANT PIE

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of the eggplant slices with salt and spread them out on a double thickness of paper towels. Cover with another double thickness of paper towels and let stand for 15 minutes. Press down on the top layer of paper towels to blot up as much water as possible. Spray both sides of the eggplant slices with nonstick olive oil cooking spray. Broil the eggplant slices for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and soft to the touch. (The eggplant slices can also be grilled, which gives them a delightful smoky flavor.) Transfer the broiled eggplant to a large bowl. For the kale layer: Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat; add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the kale and cook for 5 minutes, until it is soft but still bright green. Drain and rinse the kale in cold water until it is completely cool. Use your hands to squeeze as much water out of the kale as possible, then use a chef's knife to coarsely chop the kale, making sure there are no large pieces of stems. (There should be about 3 cups.) Place the chopped kale in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic, herbs, seasonings and cheeses; mix well. To assemble: Spray the inside of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with nonstick cooking oil spray. Spread 1/4 cup of the marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the pie plate. Starting from the outside and working in, use half of the broiled eggplant to line the bottom of the plate in slightly overlapping concentric circles. Then build layers in this order: half of the kale mixture; 1/2 cup of marinara sauce, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, all of the red peppers, the remaining kale mixture, the remaining marinara sauce, the remaining eggplant the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until the cheese is a deep golden brown and the sauce is bubbling at the edges. Transfer to a cooling rack for 15 minutes to allow the pie to settle.
