The day before put the salted eggplant into a colander and weigh it down to press out bitter juices.
The next day squeeze out as much juice as possible using your hands. In a large skillet heat the oil and cook the eggplant, onion, and garlic until soft and translucent, about 25 minutes over low heat. Puree this mixture in a blender or food processor with the nutmeg, thyme, basil, parsley, and the eggs. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
Pour into an oiled souffle dish and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serve with Hollandaise sauce, Tomato sauce, or freshly grated Parmesan as desired.
