Ingredients
- 3 smaller eggplants
- 500 g (1 lb) minced meat
- 1 onion
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 1 tomato
- oregano
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Remove the stems of the eggplants and halve them lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the center out of the eggplant halves.
-
Dice the onion and the eggplant pulp and saute in a hot, oiled skillet. Add the meat and oregano. Season to taste. Cook for 20 minutes.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat, add the egg and half of the cheese and stir vigorously (you don’t want the egg to start cooking).
-
Stuff the eggplant halves and bake in a hot oven (180°C) for 40 minutes. Halfway through, put a slice of tomato on each eggplant half, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
