No we always had it parmesan style. My sister made it one time with pepperoni and sausage and cheese as kind of an experiment but I felt it was too busy, it took away from the taste of the eggplant. In later years my Mom substituted zucchini for eggplant as my Dad said the eggplant was upsetting his stomach.

My mom used to make pickled eggplant and put it in jars , cut into thin strips and a bit heavy on the vinegar, it was amazing, I haven't had it for years but wish I could have some right now. I've had some store bought versions but it isn't the same.
I have grilled eggplant in a black bean sauce at a local asian restaurant and it is really good too.

I ended up doing one chicken breast with mozzarella and the other 2 with parmesan and sauce. Have one breast leftover still in the pan so will probably cook up one more breast and add it for dinner tonight.

Went to the Italian bakery near us and got some fresh buns and some Rosemary Ham and some cheese to make sandwiches for lunch. I picked up some pickled eggplant strips but it isn't very good, nothing like the ones my mother used to make. I loved my mother's version. My mother's were always in a strong vinegar, the commercial ones you buy are in oil. I'm taking these out of the jar and putting them in vinegar and maybe some lemon juice, I don't like the oily texture or taste of these the way they are, they got the recipe all wrong. .
