For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the eggplant mixture. If you don't have bread stuffing mix, you can use plain breadcrumbs mixed with a little melted butter and Italian seasoning. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere or mozzarella would also be delicious. To prevent the eggplant from becoming bitter, sprinkle it with salt and let it sit for 30 minutes before cooking. Rinse and pat dry before using.
