Brush a baking pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Lay the eggplant halves, skin side up on the baking pan. Roast until the eggplants collapses and are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Set aside. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until melted. Stir in the flour and cook until blended, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring and continues to stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat. Fold the goat cheese and the eggs one by one. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg. Add the chopped eggplant and garlic into the mixture. Mix gently and check seasoning. Spoon the eggplant mixture into the pie shell and spread it out evenly. Slice the tomatoes and zucchinis into thin slices. Beginning on the outermost edge of the pie and working clockwise, arrange alternating tomato and zucchini disks on top of the eggplant mixture, overlapping slightly. To fill the center, arrange alternating tomato and zucchini disks counter clockwise, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, thyme leaves and 2-tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the eggplant pie on a baking sheet in the center of the oven and bake about 30 to 40 minutes.
