Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggplant: Start by peeling the eggplant and cutting it into cubes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and carefully add the diced eggplant. Allow it to cook in the boiling water for about 10 minutes until softened. Once cooked, drain the eggplant thoroughly and set it aside to cool slightly.

  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and diced eggplant, chopped onion, and pimientos. Pour in the beaten eggs, melted margarine, and softened butter. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper to taste, ensuring a well-balanced seasoning. Gently mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.

  3. Assemble the Casserole: Grease a casserole dish generously with cooking spray or additional margarine to prevent sticking. Pour the eggplant mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.

  4. Add Cheese: Take your shredded cheese and sprinkle it generously over the top of the casserole mixture, creating a beautiful cheesy layer that will melt and bubble in the oven.

  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the casserole dish in the preheated oven. Allow it to bake for about 1 hour or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling with deliciousness.

  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish can be enjoyed warm as a fulfilling main course or as a delightful side dish alongside grilled meats or salads.
