The receipe was amazing! I also made it for my Mom who had never had eggplant (and she didn't think she would) and she LOVED it. Very wholesome..and if you are watching what you eat, this certainly makes you feel like you are cheating- but @ about 370 cal each, 1 of them is PLENTY to fill you up! We had one each (so we only made 2 servings) and served it with a side salad of mostly green veggies.. it was amazing. I did not change the recipe at all. It seemed like a ton of bread crumbs when I was adding them, but did not seem that way at all once cooked. You can skip the Parsley though- it is just for garnish mainly and I bought a huge pakc of it (only way it's sold at my local grocery) for 1 teaspoon. I used fresh parmesan cheese. We plan to make this for dinner again, and again, and again!

Made as written and it was just OK. The filling was a little bland -- could have used some salt. Also, the eggplant and onion mixture needs to be cooked thoroughly in the pan. They didn't finish in the oven the way I expected them to. Not sure I will make again.

Oh my oh my, this was delicious. I've never made eggplant before and this was so easy and better than what Ive had at restaurants. I microwaved my eggplants for 5 minutes before cutting them open to make the scooping easier. I sauteed 1lb of Italian Seasoned Ground Turkey with my onion and garlic until brown, and then cooked in my eggplant until it was soft. My cousin was over for dinner and insisted on having the recipe to take with him. This will be going on my rotation! Delicious and healthy.

What an easy and delicious recipe! It tasted like something you would get a restaurant, it was fairly healthy, and filling! The only thing I will change next time is microwaving the eggplant shells beforehand to make them a little more tender.

Very yummy! I only had 1 eggplant, so I added 1/4 cup red bell pepper, 1/4 cup green bell pepper, and 1 diced tomato, which was a delicious addition! I also opened the casing to turkey sausage, browned it, and added it to the stuffing, but would not recommend adding any meat, or else it will compete with the other flavors. I didn't have tomato sauce or mozzarella cheese, so I used spaghetti sauce & cheddar cheese, which I also don't recommend. I would cut down on the Parmesan cheese a bit and make sure to use freshly grated, rather than packaged. I had to add 10 minutes to the cooking time, which probably varies depending on the oven & elevation. All the produce I used was locally grown, which made this meal extra yummy! Fairly quick and very easy!

I made this tonight and we absolutely loved it! After frying the onion/garlic/eggplant, I put it in a bowl and mixed in the bread crumbs and grated cheese instead of sprinkling it on top. Then I poured some tomato sauce on each one and topped it with grated mozzarella. I look fwd to making this for company too.

This was fantastic! I added some diced tomatoes and didn't use sauce... I'm sure it would have been great that way too. Everyone loved it, will definitely make it again.

This is such a great basic recipe that you can add anything too! I added chopped mushrooms and red bell peppers. I also am not a huge fan of dried oregano so I used fresh. Very good..thanks!

I love this, and, even better, my girlfriend who doesn't like eggplant at all does too! I've fixed this several times, and it's a really great dish.

It was really good! I made a couple of changes Because I didn´t have any tomato sauce I used a jar of whole tomatoes. There was enough sauce inside and the whole tomatoes gave extra flavor. It took around 50 min baking time instead of 30.
