1 clove of garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 15oz can of diced tomatoes
1/2 pack of bacon, diced
1 pepper (yellow or green), diced
6 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper
6 basil leaves, cut into chiffonades
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut the eggplant in half, lengthwise, and scoop out the insides. Dice the insides. Place the hollowed eggplant “boats” on a non stick baking sheet. Heat a medium pan on medium heat. Stir-fry the bacon until done. Drain the fat from the bacon. Add the garlic, onion, and diced eggplant to the bacon in the pan. Cook until onions and eggplant are soft. Add the tomatoes and pepper. Cook the mixture down for around 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fill the eggplant “boats” with the mixture and cover with mozzarella slices. Bake for 25 minutes. Serve with basil on top.
