Cover eggplant with half the cheese and press down. Cover with pepper slices followed by remaining cheese. Press in well.

“Close” the terrine with the eggplant slices hanging over the sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap.

6.

Place weights (such as a bag of sugar) on the terrine, and refrigerate at least overnight.
