Preparation
- Prepare the Eggplants: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh to create a small cavity. Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet.
- Season the Eggplants: Rub the inside of the eggplants with minced garlic, smoked paprika, Italian herbs, and ground black pepper.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the diced bell pepper, chopped tomato, shredded cheese, chopped parsley, and the scooped-out eggplant flesh (chopped).
- In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the mayonnaise or sour cream. Add this mixture to the vegetable and cheese mixture and mix well.
- Stuff the Eggplants: Spoon the filling into the eggplant halves, pressing down lightly to pack the filling in.
- Bake: Bake the stuffed eggplants in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggplants are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve hot.
