How to Make Spanish Eggplant Aubergine

  1. Cut 1 large eggplant into 1-inch cubes. Place in a bowl of salted water and let soak for 30 minutes.
  2. Drain the eggplant thoroughly.
  3. In a large pot, combine the drained eggplant with 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped, any color), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the eggplant is very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Drain the eggplant mixture well and mash roughly with a potato masher or fork.
  5. Let the mashed eggplant cool completely.
  6. Grease a medium-sized casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed eggplant, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 large eggs, lightly beaten, and 1/2 cup bread crumbs.
  8. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  9. Pour the eggplant mixture into the greased casserole dish and spread evenly.
  10. Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  11. Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
