Breaded Stuffed Eggplants

The Breaded Stuffed Eggplants is a delicious recipe! It’s simple to make; after the success of eggplants alla pizzaiola and the eggplant pie, today I wanted to experiment with you the version of stuffed eggplants with sausage and cheese. I must say they are two ingredients that match perfectly together. The eggplants can be fried or baked in the oven or air-fried, save the recipe and make it as soon as possible!!
