In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the eggplant. Cover and cook slowly for 5 minutes. Remove the eggplant with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Notes: This unusual "pie" is a special treat for dinner. The combinations of the herbs and the eggplant make it delicious---and the crust brings it all together like a rustic pizza. Add a simple green salad and you're all set. A pinot noir is an excellent "go with" for this dish
