SAUSAGE-STUFFED EGGPLANT
A local winery/restaurant serves a stuffed eggplant appetizer that is so delicious. While trying to duplicate it at home, I found this to be one of our favorite eggplant dinners. Be sure to select an eggplant that is smooth, blemish-free and kind of heavy for it's size. Serve with a green salad.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Brush cut sides of eggplant with olive oil and place, cut-side up onto a baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove and allow to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, brown the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat; drain off the grease. Place into a mixing bowl, and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir in bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and the beaten egg; mix well.
- Once the roasted eggplant has cooled enough to handle, scoop out the flesh to within 1/2-inch of the skin to create a shell. Roughly chop the eggplant meat, and fold into the sausage mixture. Divide evenly among the two eggplant shells, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven until the filling has set, and the cheese is bubbly and golden-brown, about 30 minutes. While the eggplant is baking, warm the remaining spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat to serve with the eggplant.

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to this pizza. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
- Let the dough rest. Letting the dough rest before shaping it will allow it to relax and become easier to work with. This will also help the gluten to develop, resulting in a more flavorful and chewy crust.
- Use a hot oven. A hot oven will help the pizza cook evenly and quickly. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach before baking the pizza.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza. If you overcrowd the pizza, it will not cook evenly. Leave some space between the toppings so that they can cook properly.
Conclusion:
This egg-topped sausage herb pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sausage, herbs, and eggs is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
