This was an excellent meal and deserves 5 stars but I messed up and I added other ingredients. I forgot to add the breadcrumbs so I did it when I added the cheddar cheese to brown at the end of cooking. I also added parmesan cheese. I did not have any mushrooms so I used tomato. It was delish! My veggie husband was pleased. Looked good too.

This was a very good recipe. I'm always looking for new things to do with eggplant. I did, however, make a few changes: I peeled the eggplant and breaded it by dipping it in egg and rolling it in Italian Bread Crumbs. Then, I placed it on a cookie sheet and broiled it for approximately ten minutes (until the bread crumbs turned brown). Next, I stuffed and baked them according to the recipe. A great side is dirty rice with a spinach salad. It turned out very well, thanks for the recipe!

This was pretty good - even the picky eater in the house thought it was OK. Would be a good main dish if you added some sausage.

Made this last night and we LOVED it. I altered it a bit, so I can only give 4 stars. I added 1 T each parsley and lemon juice, reduced the bread crumbs and added half a chopped bell pepper. I pre-baked the eggplant shells 10 minutes. I covered the stuffed eggplant with foil for the first part of the baking and did not add the cheese on top until the last 10 minutes, baking uncovered.

My family LOVED this recipe. Its really fast and easy. But do follow the advice to bake the eggplant hulls for about 10 mins before stuffing them and baking it again. I added garlic powder, diced fresh mushrooms,diced green bell peppers and diced onions. It was amazing!!! Thanks so much for this awesome new way to cook eggplant!

This recipe is worth ALL 5 stars! I was pleasantly surprised. I though how great could this be...not really any spices, etc. I added Italian style breadcrumbs, a bit of oregano and salt & pepper (cound't help it...had to spice it.) I also took the other reviewers advice & precooked the eggplant shells, & added cooked crumbled chicken sausage. We will definitely make this again!!

This was sooo good! I halved and microwaved the eggplant for a few minutes. Sautéed onion, eggplant, & garlic in olive oil. Added a bit of tomato sauce, seasoned with garlic salt & basil. I did not add any bread crumbs or Cheddar cheese, but instead added Parmesan cheese to taste which gave the desired consistency. It was delicious, thanks for sharing such a great recipe! :)

This was very good. I cut the eggplant in half and layed the 2 halves cut side down on a plate, covered with a paper towel and microwaved for 5 minutes. The center scooped out nicely and the shell was partially cooked. I stuffed mine with onion,garlic,mushrooms,roma tomates,a handful of leftover spinach,the eggplant pulp,breadcrumbs, and fresh grated parm cheese. I sauteed all of these together in 1tblspn. of evoo. Stuffed the boats and covered with more grated parm. and drizzled with a little more evoo. Oh, I forgot to mention the fresh basil I added. Fresh and so healthy. Will make again, there are so many variations for this tasty dish!
