Eggplant Kadaifi Nests

Delicious savory use of kadaifi - smokey eggplant, cheese and a buttery crisp crust. I had only ever used kadaifi for sweets before, and this was a nice surprise. Kadaifi is messy (or maybe I'm messy) and next time I will go ahead and mix it with the butter all at once, then portion out and form the "nests", rather than measuring out 20 gram bundles and adding the tablespoon of butter one at a time. The red pepper sauce is really tasty as well - don't skip it.
