I'm allergic to goat cheese. Do you think I could substitute another type of cheese?

This recipe seems like it would be a great way to use up leftover eggplant.

I love the idea of this recipe, but I found it to be a bit too time-consuming. I think I would prefer a simpler version with fewer ingredients.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the dish didn't turn out as I expected. The eggplant was a bit too soft and the flavors didn't really blend well together.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the eggplant had been roasted instead of fried.

This stuffed eggplant was bursting with flavor! The sun-dried tomatoes added a tangy sweetness that perfectly complemented the creamy goat cheese and smoky eggplant. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.
