2 md Eggplants
Salt
Olive oil
1 1/2 lb Ground beef
2 Onions; chopped
3/4 c Butter
1 ts Tomato paste
1 ds Cinnamon
1/4 c Bread crumbs
4 sm Zucchini; sliced
4 md Potatoes; thinly sliced
Grated cheese
1/2 c Water
3/4 c Flour
1 qt Hot milk
6 Eggs
Slice eggplant, sprinkle with salt, and place in colander. Weigh down with
a heavy plate for several hours. Then brush slices with oil and broil
lightly. Saute beef and onions in 5 tablespoons of the butter. Add tomato
paste, cinnamon, and salt and pepper and mix well. Sprinkle bottom of a
greased baking dish with bread crumbs. Alternate layers of vegetables and
meat in the pan, sprinkling each layer with cheese. The top layer should
be vegetables. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter and add water. Set aside.
In saucepan melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Add flour and cook,
stirring, until well mixed and beginning to brown. Slowly stir in milk and
cook, stirring, until sauce is smooth and thickened. Beat eggs with a
little of the hot sauce, then stir in to remaining sauce. Remove from
heat. Pour a little more than half the sauce over the vegetables and bake
in a 350 F oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile return remaining sauce to low
heat and cook, stirring, until thick. Pour into casserole and sprinkle
with cheese. Continue to bake for 45 to 50 minutes longer or until golden
brown.
