well...there is one recipe which you might not like, but it's something my father used to make...it's a recipe from his province in the philippines
to prepare the eggplant..you need to sprinkle some salt on it to let it "sweat"...otherwise the eggplant will taste a bit bitter.
2 tomatoes, chopped 4 salted egg (i suppose you can do this by just boiling eggs in really heavily salted water) salt and pepper
grill the eggplants, take off the skin grill also the tomatoes... chop up the eggs and combine all of the ingredients..add a bit of salt and pepper for taste
then eat it with a hot steaming pile of freshly cooked rice
otherwise i'm not sure of other ways to eat eggplant...they taste great grilled

Here's one I like. Slice your eggplant lognways. Maybe 1/4" slices or so. Put the slices in a colander, and salt each layer. Let that do it's thing for 30-45 minutes. Heat your oven to 400 or so. Rinse, and dry the eggplant. Grill, or saute the eggplant until tender. Lay out the slices, and top with some prosciutto. Roll them up, pierce with a toothpick, and bake until done to your liking. Drizzle with good olive oil before serving.

cant forget a classic... egg plant parmesan!
slice the eggplant into steaks .5-.75 inches thick... dip in an egg+milk wash... then coat in italian style breadcrumbs. Saute in Olive Oil+Butter of equal volumes until golden brown. Sprinkle parmesan... the best is Parmesano Reggiano... on top of each piece and put under broiler until it is melted and bubbly... then top with marinara sauce... preferably the homemade kind! melts in your mouth

I LOVE eggplant...I always eat it just fried in a frying pan with lots of olive oil, and maybe some stewed tomatoes on top..
My parents really like making moussaka though, which is eggplant casserole
EGGPLANT MOUSSAKA
Eggplant:
2 eggplants (1 1/2 pounds each) 1 1/2 pounds ground round beef 1 medium onion, chopped 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce 4 ounces (1/2 can) water garlic powder salt and pepper to taste olive or vegetable oil
Slice eggplants into rounds half an inch thick and sprinkle with salt. In a skillet, brown eggplants in olive or vegetable oil. Drain and blot on paper towels.
Brown meat over high heat (about 10 minutes), then add onions and garlic. Continue to cook an additional five minutes.
And tomato sauce, half can water (or 1/2 c.), salt and pepper to taste. Cook uncovered, checking occasionally, until dry and no water remains. This should take about two hours.
Cream Sauce:
6 tablespoons flour 1 quart milk 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 pound butter 1/4 cup grated Romano and Parmesan cheese 6 eggs, beaten
Heat milk in microwave. In a medium saucepan, brown butter and flour; stir in warm milk. Add cheese and salt, continuing to cook over low heat and stirring until thickened.
In a small bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Stir in a few tablespoons of the hot mixture (to temper the eggs) then add the eggs slowly back to the sauce to combine.
Assembly:
Lightly oil 9" x 12" baking dish. Cover the bottom with bread crumbs. Place one layer of eggplant, spacing close together. Sprinkle with grated cheese and chopped parsley. Spread one half of the meat mixture over the top.
Repeat, overlapping eggplant and using remaining ingredients (except cream sauce), ending with a layer of eggplant sprinkled over with a final layer of cheese.
Pour cream sauce over all.
Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours on the middle rack of a preheated 350?F oven.
Allow to stand 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into serving portions.

When it calls for breaded and baked or fried eggplant, i first let the slices soak in some salt, to sweat out some water.
I then dry them off and smother the top with a mixture of herbs, romano or parmesion cheese, garlic and mayo. Mayo makes up the majority of the crust. I lay the slices with the mayo stuff on a cookie sheat then bake for a bit, I then broil them till the mayo melts thickens and forms a zesty crust. You can flip them over and do the same to the other side if they dont stick too bad and your slices are thick enough.

You can never go wrong with fried eggplant, and it's very simple to do
Just make an egg bath that consists of eggs and milk, wet sliced eggplant in the egg bath, then roll in breadcrumbs (Italian or whatever concoction you prefer) then fry in vegetable oil.
I'll have to find you the recipe for eggplant lasagna

I must ask, did you try it one way and not care for it? If so, how did you do it? Did you slice it, salt it, and let it rest and "sweat"?

I aim to thrill though...... thats the difference. Use what i talked about in eggplant parm.
Cook up some pasta add marinara place cheese atop the slices and broil. Serve on the pasta. Hell yeah! Throw a few slices of pepperoni atop the eggplant before you put the cheese on if you want.
Hell you can put them on a roll with some good balsam and oil some roasted peppers with fresh mozzerel.
Roast the eggplant on the bbq then let marinate in a mixture of Oil and vinegar, maybe some dry red wine. Marinate with fresh mozerel rasted red peppers and fresh crushed basil leaves.
Use it as a side or make it into a sandwich.

Don't feel bad man.. while my tastes have expanded exponentially in the last decade - eggplant is still something that I have little, nay, make that zero love for. Although, I guess I do think they look kinda cool.

Eggplant rolatinni:
Get some mascarpone and ricotta cheeses, mix em up in even proportions. Add crushed pine nuts, chopped parsley, salt, pepper (sometimes you can throw in some cooked and chopped panchetta). Mix this stuff up and throw it into the fridge.
Now for the eggplant: slice it lengthwise (so it looks like a shoe sole). Turn the oven or grill on heat up to 400ish or until it hurts to touch it While the business is heating up, take a few cloves of garlic, crush and chop them finely, add a bit of olive oil so you make a thick garlicky paste. Spread the paste on both sides of the sliced eggplant. Now you gotta either bake or grill it, you can tell when it is done once it browns up and becomes much more flexible (8-10 min, flip in the middle)
So now as your eggplant is roasted, its time to stuff it. Basically put a tablespoon of filling on one end of the eggplant "shoe-sole-thiny" and roll it up, set it down in a glass baking pan with a bit of olive oil on the bottom. Roll the rest of eggplant thinies and place in pan.
Now, open up a can of tomato sauce (you can use hunts or Unico, all other ones are gay) and pour it over your rolatinni. Take a bunch of cheese, I myself use fontina and Parmesan oregano.
Bake in 375 oven for 30-40 min, serve and enjoy
