Ingredients
Instructions
- Carefully scoop out the eggplant from the skin, taking care not to puncture the shell, which should be less than a quarter of an inch thick.
- Place the eggplant pieces in salted boiling water and cook until very tender.
- Meanwhile, sauté diced onions and green peppers in bacon drippings or vegetable oil until soft.
- Add peeled and chunked tomatoes to the sautéed vegetables and cook until the mixture is well combined and heated through.
- Drain the cooked eggplant and mix it with the sautéed vegetables, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the eggplant shells with the vegetable mixture, then top with grated cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs over the cheese and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden.
