Baked Mashed Potatoes on Eggplant image

Unlike Japanese eggplant, American eggplant is HUGE. I like to stuff something into the eggplant which is fun. I found potatoes in my pantry so I decided to stuff mashed potatoes adding tomatoes and cheese.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 egg plant ( about 1lb), trimmed
2 potatoes (about 1/2-2/3 lb)
4 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1 roma tomato
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Tbsp panko

Steps:

  • 1. Cut eggplant lengthwise into half, scoop eggplant pulp out and chop. Chop Roma tomatoes. Peel potatoes and dice.
  • 2. Put diced potatoes into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 3 minutes or until tender. Then mash, add 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, milk, salt, granulated sugar and pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
  • 3. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and add minced garlic and chopped eggplant pulp. Sauté until eggplants are tender. Add chopped tomatoes and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in shredded mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper to taste. When the cheese starts to melt, turn off the heat and let stand until cheese is melted.
  • 4. Put sautéed tomato and eggplant mixture into each hollowed-out eggplant, spread mashed potatoes, sprinkle parmesan cheese and panko (1 tablespoon for each ) and dry parsley on top. Place on the baking pan and bake at 375 degrees F for 15-18 minutes.
