Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 Eggplant (about 1 lb.)
1/2 lb Fresh Mushrooms
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 c Milk
Pepper, to taste
Tabasco, to taste
2 tb Bread crumbs
Salt to taste
3 1/2 tb Butter
1 1/2 tb Flour
1/4 c Heavy cream
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1 Egg, lightly beaten
2 tb Parmesan cheese

1. Preheat oven to 425 deg. 2. Peel the eggplant and cut the flesh
into 1" cubes, more or less. Drop the cubes into boiling salted
water, cook about 5 minutes, just until cooked. Drain well. 3.
Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms. There should be about 2 cups. Heat
1 tablespoon butter in a skillet and add the mushroom slices.
Sprinkle with salt and about 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Cook, stirring
and tossing, until the mushrooms give up their juice. Continue
cooking until the liquid evaporates. Set aside. 4. Melt 1 1/2
tablespoons butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a
wire whisk. Add the milk and cream, stirring rapidly with the whisk.
When blended and smooth, add salt and pepper to taste, the remaining
lemon juice, nutmeg, and Tabasco to taste. Stir in the mushrooms and
eggplant. Stir in the egg. Spoon the mixture into a baking dish (an
8" pie plate works well). Sprinkle with a mixture of crumbs and
cheese and dot the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Bake 30 to 40
minutes, and then brown under the broiler.
