Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Brush cut sides of eggplant with olive oil and place, cut-side up onto a baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, brown the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat; drain off the grease. Place into a mixing bowl, and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir in bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of pasta sauce, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and the beaten egg; mix well.
  4. Once the roasted eggplant has cooled enough to handle, scoop out the flesh to within 1/2-inch of the skin to create a shell. Roughly chop the eggplant meat, and fold into the sausage mixture. Divide evenly among the two eggplant shells, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake in preheated oven until the filling has set, and the cheese is bubbly and golden-brown, about 30 minutes. While the eggplant is baking, warm the remaining sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat to serve with the eggplant.

I left out the egg, as the bread crumbs and spaghetti sauce were plenty of binding agent. Soooo good!

Delicious! a half an hour for roasting my egg plant was a little too long. i would try twenty mins next and check. i had a hard time scooping out the eggplant because of this, ended up just being the skin in some areas, and sort of went flat. but great flavour! will make again!

I used turkey sausage, added 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and Italian Seasoning. I also used Italian bread crumbs as well. Added a little bit more cheese then called for and made a side dish of whole wheat spaghetti. Tasty.

This was not an easy dish to prep and although tasty, it was way too difficult to make and I would not make it the same way again. I would instead prepare the ingredients and bake in a greased casserole dish instead of the eggplant shell and maybe serve with a small side of spaghetti.

After roasting the eggplant halves at 400, there was no way the innards could be chopped. The whole thing was mush, and I wound up spooning it out in globs. It was a challenge keeping the blobs from disappearing completely when I mixed the stuffing. There's something wrong with the temperature, time, or eggplant. My original plan, before I found this recipe, was to remove the insides of the eggplant while it was raw. I planned to use a melon baller to remove the flesh, dredge it in seasoned flour, and brown it lightly. I might try that next time.
