Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut eggplant in half lengthwise.
- 2. Carefully scoop out the flesh, reserving shell. Coarsely chop scooped out eggplant into bite-size pieces.
- 3. Place a 12" non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and saute eggplant, green pepper, and onion in olive oil for 10-12 minutes or until onion becomes transparent. (You may have to add more olive oil or vegetable oil while sauteeing.)
- 4. Add the tomatoes and garlic to the eggplant mixture and stir to combine.
- 5. Add the beaten egg, torn bread, and Italian seasoning to the skillet and stir quickly to combine ingredients and to prevent the egg from "scrambling". Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for 5 more minutes, stirring constantly.
- 6. Transfer mixture to reserved eggplant shells.
- 7. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- 8. Place stuffed shells in a baking dish.
- 9. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serves 6-8 (depending on the size of eggplant).

- To roast the eggplant: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven. Line two large rimmed, baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Slice off both rounded ends on one eggplant, then stand it up on its widest flat side. Slice through the eggplant vertically to make long, even slabs 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick. Discard both of the sides that are covered in eggplant skin. Repeat with the other eggplant(s).
- Brush both sides of the eggplant slabs lightly with olive oil (you’ll likely need about 1/4 cup oil). Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the top sides with a few dashes of salt and pepper. Roast until golden and tender, about 22 to 27 minutes—halfway through baking, rotate the pans 180 degrees and swap their positions (move pan on lower rack to upper rack, and vice versa). The pan on the lower rack might need a few extra minutes in the oven to turn golden. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, to make the tomato sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very tender and translucent, about 4 to 7 minutes.
