1 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 med. onion, chopped (about 1/2 c.)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. eggplant, unpeeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (about 4 1/2 c.)
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. oregano
3/4 tsp. dried basil
Dash of cayenne
1 sm. zucchini, unpeeled and sliced

In large skillet, melt butter and saute onion, garlic, and eggplant for 2 minutes. Cover the skillet and continue cooking the vegetables for about 5 minutes or until the eggplant is soft, stirring the mixture a few times. Add salt, oregano, basil, and cayenne; stir mixture well. Line the bottom and sides of a greased 10 inch pie plate with the zucchini slices. Carefully spoon the eggplant mixture over them. In a bowl, combine the evaporated milk, egg, and cheese.

It was good, but I thought there was too much oregano. I will use less next time. I am also going to chop up some tomatoes and saute them with the eggplant. The egg/milk/cheese mixture was quite thick. A bit more milk would be an improvement and make the mixture pourable.
