Eggplant Mascarpone Gratin
Mascarpone and I is a long story, and I have learnt to use it in many different ways than in my tiramisú (which is quite a treat by the way).
This recipe came directly from We Cook, We Care a site dedicated to healthy cooking and healthy living. It is so easy to make and what is really fantastic about this recipe is that you do not have to worry about the eggplant absorbing all the liquids like a sponge because the mascarpone is what keeps it together.
I know you will love this recipe as much as I do.
Bon Appétit!
