Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the eggplant slices for 3-4 minutes per side until tender.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, minced garlic, half the mozzarella and Parmesan, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Layer the cooked eggplant in the pie dish, followed by fresh tomato slices, and pour the egg mixture over the layers.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing, and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes
Allow the pie to cool before slicing to help it set better. The filling can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
