   1                    eggplant -- peeled and diced
  17      ounces        tomatoes (mashed slightly) -- drained
     1/2  cup           or less tomato juice (from tomatoes)
   1                    onion -- chopped fine
                        mushrooms (if desired) -- sliced
   4                    eggs -- slightly beaten
   4      ounces        cheddar cheese (optional) -- grated
   2      tablespoons   parmesan cheese (optional)
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/8  teaspoon      pepper
     1/4  teaspoon      oregano
     1/4  teaspoon      basil
     1/2  teaspoon      garlic powder
          dash          cayenne pepper
          pinch         marjoram

Soak eggplant in salt water for 30 minutes.  This step is optional.
Rinse and drain.  Saute onions, mushrooms, in tomato juice until tender.
Add eggplant, spices, and slightly mashed tomatoes and simmer until
eggplant is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.  Remove from
stove, stir lightly beaten eggs and cheddar cheese into eggplant mixture.
 Pour into 9" quiche pan which has been sprayed with a pan-coating.  Bake
at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.
 Let set 5-10 minutes before serving.  Sprinkle parmesan cheese over top
before baking if desired.
