For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture. Fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, can be incorporated into the filling for a vibrant touch. To prevent the eggplant from becoming soggy, be sure to drain the browned sausage thoroughly. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella before baking adds a delightful nutty flavor.
