Stuffed Eggplant image

I made this up when I had an abundance of fresh garden veggies I needed to use up one night. My sister had given me some white eggplant and told me it was good for stuffing, so I threw some things together and it turned out wonderful! If you want meat, you can add ground beef or sausage or even chopped leftover meat. Sometimes I cover them with foil and freeze, then when I need a quick meal for myself, I take one out, remove the foil, microwave and voila! I have a quick, yummy, and healthy individual meal.

Time 40m

Yield 2 stuffed eggplant, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium white eggplant
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon garlic
1 green chili peppers or 1/2 a green bell pepper, chopped
1 ripe tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil or 2 tablespoons other fresh herbs, chopped
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh in the center until you have just a shell about 1/2-inch thick. Set the shells aside.
  • Chop up the eggplant you scooped out into small pieces.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan, then add the chopped eggplant, onion, garlic, and pepper.
  • Saute until the onion is clear and soft and the eggplant is cooked through.
  • Add the tomato and basil or fresh herbs saute a few minutes longer.
  • Add the breadcrumbs and about 1/2 cup of the cheese and stir well. The mixture should hold together well. If not, add a few more breadcrumbs and/or cheese.
  • Scoop the stuffing mixture into the eggplant shells. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 - 25 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted.
  • Enjoy!

This stuffed eggplant was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I will try baking it next time instead of frying it.

This recipe was a disaster! The eggplant was mushy and the filling was tasteless. I will never be making this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the eggplant was a bit overcooked. I think I will try a different recipe next time.
