Recipe - Almodrote De Berengena (Turkish Eggplant Flan)

4 pound Eggplant
8 ounce Feta cheese
2 Eggs; lightly beaten
4 tablespoon Matzo meal
1 cup Gruyere cheese; grated
5 tablespoon Sunflower oil; plus more for
baking

1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Prick the eggplants repeatedly with a
fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake, turning to prevent burning, for 45
minutes. Cool. Peel or scoop out the flesh into a colander. Drain and
press out the juices, then chop the flesh with a knife and mash it with a
fork.

2. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mash the
feta cheese. Add the eggs, matzoh meal, 5 tablespoons of the Gruyere and 4
tablespoons of the oil. Beat well.

3. Add the eggplant and mix. Pour the mixture into an oiled baking dish,
drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil over the mixture, sprinkle with the
remaining cheese, and bake for 1 hour, until lightly colored.
