Quick Stuffed Eggplants

Quick stuffed eggplants are a simple and tasty main dish!

I’m always looking to bring something different to the table; I love cheesy recipes and those with eggplants. My version is prepared with a minced meat filling, breaded, and then baked in the oven. You can also fry them; now let me explain in detail how I make them. Try them, and you’ll see how crispy and simple they are!
