How to Make Miss Ellie's Eggplant Aubergine Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 1 large (about 1.5 lbs) eggplant into 1-inch cubes. Boil or steam until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the eggplant thoroughly in a colander, pressing out excess moisture. Mash well with a potato masher or fork.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Gently fold in the mashed eggplant until well combined.
  6. In a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, layer half of the eggplant mixture. Top with 1 1/2 cups crushed saltine crackers.
  7. Layer the remaining eggplant mixture over the crackers.
  8. Top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups crushed saltine crackers.
  9. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
