The eggplant boats are a super tasty and flavorful dish.

You make them using long eggplants, which you will then stuff, as I will show you in the various steps below. What do you say we go cook them?

  • Cost: Economical
  • Preparation time: 40 Minutes
  • Portions: 4 People
  • Cooking methods: Oven
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All seasons

Ingredients

Let’s see what ingredients we need

  • 4 eggplant
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • to taste fine salt
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • to taste oregano
  • to taste breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2/3 cup smoked provolone cheese
  • to taste olives

Steps

  • First, take the eggplants, wash them well and cut them in half. Sprinkle them with a bit of salt and let them rest for a while. Then squeeze out the salt and score the surface in a crosshatch pattern.

    Place them on a baking sheet lined with paper and put them to cook for about 30/40 minutes at 350°F in a fan oven.

    When you take them out, the internal pulp should be soft, if not, let them cook for a few more minutes.

    Once the eggplants are ready, remove them from the oven and season where you made the cuts in the pulp.

  • We will season with washed and diced tomatoes, which we have flavored with olive oil and chopped garlic. Also add the olives, provolone, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, oregano, fine salt, olive oil, and breadcrumbs, which will create a nice crust, pleasant to the palate.

  • Now we’re ready to bake. Turn on the oven in fan mode and once it’s hot at 350°F, cook our eggplant boats for another 10/15 minutes.

    When you take them out, the eggplant pulp should be nice and soft and all the ingredients on top well combined, with a nice golden crust.

    All that’s left is to wish you bon appétit.

Tips

If you don’t like provolone, you can stuff with other types of cheese, like Gruyere or Asiago, they’ll be delicious just the same.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
