Directions:
Cut eggplants lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices. Toss with 1 1/2 tbl. oil. Heat a large nonstick frying pan, fry until lightly browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

In a saucepan, slowly whisk milk into flour until smooth. Set over moderate heat and beat. Remove from heat and briskly beat in egg yolks, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir in cheese. Return to heat and whisk until thick and smooth. Saute shallots and mushrooms in 1/2 tbl. oil. Add vermouth and lemon juice, simmer until just a little liquid remains. Fold in 1/2 cl. cheese sauce.

In a 9" x 12" nonstick pan, spread 2 tablespoons tomato sauce. Make 2 sets of layers, each using half of the rice, cheese sauce, mushrooms, eggplant and tomato sauce. (Evenly dab spoonfuls of sauces, don't spread them out.) Bake at 350º for 40 minutes.

I made this without the rice and used homemade tomato sauce with meat. Delicious.
