Ingredients

  • 1 aubergine
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 70 g fresh mozzarella, diced (~1/3 cup)
  • ~ 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Small bunch fresh basil, roughly chopped
  • Black pepper
  • 4 tsp panko breadcrumbs (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
  • Halve the aubergine lengthwise, and drizzle the cut sides lightly with olive oil. Bake for around 30 minutes, until fairly soft.
  • When the aubergine is soft, allow it to cool a little, then scoop out a small amount of each half to create a boat shape. Stuff the aubergines with the diced mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped basil. Top with some black pepper and the breadcrumbs, if using. Return to the oven for a further 30 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
