Instructions to Make Your Taste Buds Sing
Now that you’ve got your ingredients together, it’s time to get cooking! Follow these easy-peasy steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). The perfect temperature for baking something divine!
- Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise. Scoop out some of the flesh to create a nice little boat for your filling. Don’t throw away the scooped-out bits; we’ll use them later!
- Brush the eggplant halves with olive oil and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender.
- While the eggplants are roasting, let’s mix up the filling! In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add in the scooped-out eggplant flesh and mix well.
- Remove the eggplants from the oven and flip them over. Now it’s time to stuff them with that cheesy mixture we just made. Load them up generously!
- Pour marinara sauce over the stuffed eggplants, covering them completely. Because who doesn’t love a good sauce?
- Sprinkle a little extra mozzarella on top for good measure. More cheese = more happiness!
- Bake in the oven for another 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once done, garnish with fresh basil if you’re feeling fancy. Serve hot and watch your guests devour them!
And there you have it — a scrumptious plate of Stuffed Eggplant Parm that will impress even the pickiest of eaters. Get ready to enjoy every cheesy, satisfying bite!
