Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • In food processor, pulse bread until coarse crumbs form, 10 to 12 times.
  • Toss crumbs with oil.
  • Score cut side of each eggplant half by making 4 crosswise cuts, 1/2" deep.
  • On parchment-lined sheet pan, place eggplant halves, cut side down, 1" apart.
  • Bake until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
  • Carefully scoop pulp from each eggplant half leaving a 1/4" thick shell. Reserve eggplant shells. Chop pulp 1/2".
  • Reduce convection oven to 300 F.
  • In sauté pan over medium-high heat coated with cooking spray, sauté onion and garlic until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add chopped eggplant, tomato, red pepper, oregano, salt and black pepper. Sauté until heated through, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat. Cook until liquid evaporates, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in cheese and parsley.
  • In each eggplant shell, layer the eggplant-onion mixture and top with crumb mixture.
  • On parchment-lined sheet pan, place stuffed eggplant halves 1" apart.
  • Bake until internal temperature reaches 165 F and tops are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
