Savory Stuffed Eggplant image

This is a really good way to fix eggplant if you don't feel like the typical fried eggplant. I actually came up with this recipe, though because I did not have all the ingredients to make the fried eggplant! It was a big hit! Enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup butter
1 (6 ounce) package herb-seasoning stuffing mix (such as Kraft® Stove Top®)
1 large eggplant, halved lengthwise
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
paprika to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Bring water and butter to a boil in a saucepan; add stuffing mix and cover saucepan. Remove saucepan from heat and let stand for 5 minutes; fluff stuffing with a fork.
  • Scoop the flesh from eggplant and dice, reserving shells. Mix eggplant pulp, stuffing, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and egg together in a bowl. Fill each eggplant shell with stuffing mixture and top with paprika.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is cooked through and crisp on the top, 30 to 35 minutes.
