Labor of love for sure. I didn't have percorino or plain parmesan so I used a shredded Italian blend I had on hand and added some type of Colby blend with it on top. Very good. Always reminds me of the opening scenes of My Big Fat Greek Wedding!

Super good but this is definitely a labor of love dish. Took ages, but well worth it. I also went vegan- mostly. No meat. And a vegan bechamel which I made with buckwheat flour. Turned out good. I also used only half the cinnamon and used shallots in place of onion. Lastly, I added 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar to the sauce to deepen the flavor.

This is literally the best thing I've ever cooked in my kitchen. It was the first time I've ever had eggplant and the first time I've ever made a béchamel sauce. It took me quite a bit of time but it was so worth it!
