One of my favorite soups of all time has always been New England clam chowder, so much that I brought it for lunch in elementary school pretty much every day.

The answer: really, really bad.

So my original intent with this recipe was to make eggplant rollatini, but it didn’t stay rolled so it magically became eggplant parm. Growing up, my family never breaded and fried eggplant rollatini, but roasted it with olive oil, salt and pepper instead so this is perfect for all my gluten free folks.
