Well, for starters, you can look Here.
Now, if you want a tastie treat... I suggest Eggplant Parmesan...

First clean and drain your eggplants.
Slice them into quarters or eights to taste...
Dredge them thru a light salted flour.
Fry in a skillet in about an inche of oil, on both sides until tender and slightly golden... usually about 3-4 minutes per side.
I suggest flipping as few times as possible.
Drain well afterwards.

For the sauce, I usually suggest a tomato puree with basil, oregano, and cumin.
If you have niether the time nor inclination to make the sauce yourself, you can run with a jarred Marinara...

You'll want to have pre-heated your oven to about 400f
Butter a casrole which will allow all of the slices to lay out flat with little overlap. then place the eggplant slices in.
Pour a thin layer of sauce over it (enough so that the eggplant isn't exposed).
Sprinkle a layer of mozerella over that (completely cover the sauce).
Add parmigiano to taste.
Cover lightly in foil to prevent charring.
Bake for 20-30 minutes.
Let stand for at least 10, it will be hot.

I usually serve it with unimaginative garlic bread and stuffed olives.

hmmm...I don't really know any so why don't you try making one up? FOr instance putting a cake mix into a half of an empty eggplant? I've never really even seen one so I don't know

I prefer the Japanese eggplant. It requires no salting to remove bitterness.

My favorite way to cook it is to slice the eggplants into a bowl, drizzle some olive oil or grapeseed oil (garlic or basil flavored is great, if you can get it or a really good bread dipping oil is nice too), add some mashed garlic (less if your oil is flavored) and a little salt. I put the slices on a foil lined pan (makes clean up easier) and roast them in the toaster oven until lightly brown then flip them to cook on the other side. Commence inhaling! heart
