Microwave whole eggplant with cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake whole eggplants with cheese in the microwave? Prepare your food. It is better to cook one eggplant at a time, for one or two servings.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash and dry the eggplant. Cut off the tail. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise. Using a knife, make deep cross-shaped cuts on both halves. Pour vegetable oil over them so that it gets into these cuts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the eggplant halves on a plate and microwave. Cook them for 3 minutes at 750W. If your maximum power is less, then increase the baking time. Carefully remove the pulp from the baked eggplants with a spoon, being careful not to damage the walls and bottom of the vegetable. Place the pulp in a bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the cheese into small cubes - then it will melt faster and better. Any cheese is suitable for this dish - hard, semi-hard, soft, such as mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, of high quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well. Place the chopped cheese in a bowl with the eggplant pulp.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the tomato and also cut into cubes. Transfer it to the bowl with the filling.

6. STEP 6

   

   Squeeze a peeled clove of garlic through a press. Add mayonnaise. Salt and pepper the filling to taste. Keep in mind that it already contains salted cheese and mayonnaise. Stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Stuff the eggplant halves with the mixture.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place them in the microwave again and bake for another 3 minutes at 750W.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve baked eggplants as a hot appetizer or a side dish for meat or fish. Before serving, decorate the dish with herbs. Bon appetit!

I love eggplant in any form. I liked this recipe for its ease of preparation. It turns out that you can cook a complete meal using a microwave without any hassles. First, I washed the eggplants, cut them in half, made slits and sprinkled them with oil as described in the recipe. I cooked vegetables in the microwave for 5 minutes with a power of 700 W. I took out the middle with a spoon, cutting in places with a knife. For the filling, I combined eggplant pulp, garlic, yellow tomato, cheese, mayonnaise and pepper. I stuffed my eggplant boats and baked them in the microwave for 7 minutes until fully cooked. It turned out just a masterpiece! Tender, soft, aromatic, amazingly tasty. Garlic and pepper added a spicy kick. The cheese melted perfectly, the vegetables were well baked. Yes, there was no golden brown crust, but it still turned out amazingly delicious. I will cook whole eggplants in the microwave with cheese more than once and recommend it to everyone. Many thanks to the author 😊
