Recipe instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the tomato and also cut into cubes. Transfer it to the bowl with the filling.

Step 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.

Step 7

Step 7
Stuff the eggplant halves with the mixture.

Step 8

Step 8
Place them in the microwave again and bake for another 3 minutes at 750W.

Step 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!
