Made with italian eggplants, which are smaller, but I'm sure you could do just as well using fewer larger ones. A nice meatless entree or elegant side. Ingredients:
6 -8 italian eggplants |
1 cup crumbled blue cheese |
3 ounces cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
1 tablespoon minced fresh onions or 1 tablespoon dried onion |
Directions:
1. Wash, rinse and trim eggplants and slice in half.
2. Scoop out about half an inch of the flesh to make a small well to hold filling.
3. Combine the scooped flesh with the remaining ingredients and stuff the wells in the eggplant halves, completely covering the tops.
4. Place halves in a single layer in a buttered glass dish and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
5. Eggplant is done when flesh is tender and the cheese stuffing is bubbly.
6. If desired, halves may be broiled for about 3 minutes to brown them.
