How To Make savory ~ superb ~ stuffed eggplant - cassies

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Place eggplant in a shallow baking dish - I used a pie plate. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Once cool enough to work with, slice eggplant in half and remove the inside of the eggplant, leaving about 1/4 inch thick, of the shell. Chop up the eggplant and set aside.

    In a medium sized skillet, add 1 tablespoon or so of olive oil, brown sausage. When sausage is just about cooked, add a little more olive oil & add the spices, onion, garlic, eggplant, tomatoes,mushrooms & parsley and saute until vegetables are tender. Then add in 1/2 the cheese and bread crumbs...Toss to well combine and saute for about 1 more minute.
  • 3
    Take your hollowed out eggplants and place back into shallow baking dish. Stuff each with the eggplant mixture.
  • 4
    Top with remaining cheese and bake for another 15 - 20 minutes.
  • 5
    Serve with a side of sauce and some sprinkles of cheese...this was absolutely delicious!
