This stuffed eggplant recipe is a twist on the old standby. I like to use my homemade tomato sauce for this recipe and crushed croutons for bread crumbs. A hint for shelling the eggplants: use a grapefruit spoon to start!
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants, cut in half lengthwise and hollowed out to 1/4 inch flesh rim
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 2
Roughly chop eggplant centers.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chopped eggplant, onion, garlic, oregano, and black pepper in hot oil until lightly browned. Spoon mixture into hollowed-out eggplants.
Step 4
Sprinkle each stuffed eggplant with Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and parsley. Place in a shallow baking dish. Cover with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until eggplant is fork-tender and cheese is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
