Great for Thanksgiving!! Just like a little mini quiche tucked into nice little eggplant ‘shells’ just beggin’ to be eaten! This is a great go-to recipe for a dinner party or when you want to make a few dishes a bit earlier since it’s served at room temp. Also a hearty fill for the vegetarians out there
