Zorro's Passion (Bleu Cheese Stuffed Eggplant)

Made with italian eggplants, which are smaller, but I'm sure you could do just as well using fewer larger ones. A nice meatless entree or elegant side.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 2-6

Ingredients

• 6 -8  italian eggplants
• 1  cup  crumbled blue cheese
• 3  ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh chives
• 1  tablespoon  minced fresh onions or 1  tablespoon  dried onion

Directions

1. Wash, rinse and trim eggplants and slice in half.
2. Scoop out about half an inch of the flesh to make a small well to hold filling.
3. Combine the scooped flesh with the remaining ingredients and stuff the wells in the eggplant halves, completely covering the tops.
4. Place halves in a single layer in a buttered glass dish and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
5. Eggplant is done when flesh is tender and the cheese stuffing is bubbly.
6. If desired, halves may be broiled for about 3 minutes to brown them.
