Stuffed eggplants are very tasty, easy to prepare, enriched with cheese and tomato, and are practically a great alternative to eggplant parmesan.

This is a recipe that is never missing in my house, my children love it, and it’s a way to get them to eat vegetables.

I still remember when they were little, and there was little time to cook, the few times I could leave them with my mom, I took the opportunity to prepare the dishes they liked most. I made them in abundance and then froze them, so they were ready on occasion.

Now that they are grown up, I have all the time to prepare them fresh.

Steps for Preparing Stuffed Eggplants

To make the delicious stuffed eggplants, start by washing them well under running water and cut them in half, clean the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces and set aside.

Then, using a kitchen knife, score around the edge of the eggplants and then, with a spoon, help to remove the interior. Once all the eggplants are emptied, salt the shell and turn it upside down to let excess water drain. Meanwhile, chop the removed pulp using a cutting board and a sharp knife.
Afterwards, oil anon-stick pan with extra virgin olive oil and heat it, then add the eggplant pulp and chopped tomatoes. Cook for about ten minutes, covered and stirring occasionally, and add salt. After that time, turn off the heat and let it cool so that the cheese added later does not melt prematurely. Once cooled, add the diced mozzarella and grated cheese and mix well to combine all ingredients.
Now our filling is ready to stuff the eggplants. Using a spoon, stuff each eggplant and place them on a baking tray, previously oiled. Finish by sprinkling the surface with breadcrumbs and bake at 356 degrees Fahrenheit in a static oven for about 40 minutes, or in an air fryer at 356 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
When cooking is complete, remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and finally serve… enjoy your meal!
