            Olive oil
 
   1 1/2 lb Ground beef

     3/4 c  Butter
 
       1 ts Tomato paste

       1 qt Hot milk

   Slice eggplant, sprinkle with salt, and place in colander.  Weigh down with
 
   a heavy plate for several hours.  Then brush slices with oil and broil
 
   lightly.  Saute beef and onions in 5 tablespoons of the butter.  Add tomato
 
   paste, cinnamon, and salt and pepper and mix well.  Sprinkle bottom of a
 
   greased baking dish with bread crumbs.  Alternate layers of vegetables and
 
   meat in the pan, sprinkling each layer with cheese.  The top layer should
 
   be vegetables.  Dot with 1 tablespoon butter and add water. Set aside.
 
   
 
   In saucepan melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter.  Add flour and cook,
 
   stirring, until well mixed and beginning to brown.  Slowly stir in milk and
 
   cook, stirring, until sauce is smooth and thickened.  Beat eggs with a
 
   little of the hot sauce, then stir in to remaining sauce.  Remove from
 
   heat.  Pour a little more than half the sauce over the vegetables and bake
 
   in a 350 F oven for 10 minutes.  Meanwhile return remaining sauce to low
 
   heat and cook, stirring, until thick.  Pour into casserole and sprinkle
 
   with cheese.  Continue to bake for 45 to 50 minutes longer or until golden
 
   brown.
