Greek Stuffed Eggplant

If you’re looking for something that’s easy to make yet tasty and original, then this Greek Stuffed Eggplant is for you. The eggplant is filled with meat and yummy spices and then topped with feta cheese. I added some tzatziki sauce on top to give it a creamy texture.

You can make this Greek Stuffed Eggplant with ground beef, lamb, chicken or turkey. I made this one with turkey since it was the only meat I had on hand, but you can certainly use your favorite one.

Another great idea is to add your favorite veggies to the filling. I sometimes check my fridge to see what veggie is about to go bad and just throw it in. It’s a great way to sneak in some hidden vitamins to your kids.

I love how cute this dish looks. Each eggplant is like its own little vessel. Each half feeds one but you can use baby eggplants for a dinner party or entertaining.

The tzatziki sauce on top is entirely optional, I had some leftovers in my fridge from the day I made those yummy greek burgers. I will post the recipe below in case you want to make it as well.

So, my kids start camp next week and have been driving me crazy. They want 1000 activities each day and it’s been hard being creative. The weather in Miami has either been too hot or raining.

Today we decided to go canoeing. We organized everything, went to the place, rented the canoes and when we were getting the vessel in the water, it started pouring with thunder and lightning. So much for today’s adventure. 🙁
