Ingredients

    1 eggplant Eggplant, fresh, unpeeled (approx 1 lb
    1 small Onion, chopped
    1 clove Garlic, minced
    2 tbsp Olive Oil
    8 oz Tomato Sauce
    1/2 cup pitted ripe Olives, quartered

    1/4 tsp Salt
    4 slices Monterey jack cheese
    4 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, grated
    Red Ripe Tomatoes, sliced thin

Directions

Trim off the stem of eggplant, cut in half lengthwise. Cut the pulp out of the center of each half leaving about 1/2 inch shell. Cube the pulp and combine with the onion, garlic and the olive oil in a skillet. Cook stirring over medium high heat until very tender. Mix in the tomato sauce, olives and seasonings and heat through. Lightly oil the cut edges of the eggplant, spoon 1/4 of the mixture into each shell, top with 1/2 the Monterey jack and Parmesan cheeses. Add remaining eggplant mixture, top with remaining Monterey jack, add the tomato slices and finally top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

    This pretty much rocks my world. I used pepper Jack, because it was the only Monterey Jack I could find, but yeah, this is pretty awesome. I could eat this everyday and twice on Sundays. Thanks for the best recipe I've found on here! - 6/20/09
