Recipe - Stuffed Eggplant Padovana

1 md Eggplant
1 Onion; minced
One half pound Hamburger
1 Tomato; cut in wedges
8 sl Bread
Salt & pepper
Garlic powder
Oregano
Parsley
Parmesan cheese
1 Egg
Green olives; optional

Cut eggplant in half lengthwise, hollow out meat. Dice eggplant but leave
shells intact. Fry onion & hamburger until light brown; add eggplant &
tomato & cook until soft but not mushy. Crumble bread into bowl & season
with spices to taste as well as the cheese. Combine dry ingredients & add 1
egg & some water if too dry. Combine all with hamburger mixture, add green
olives if desired. Place mixture into eggplant shells; top with additional
Parmesan cheese; bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Serves 2 as main dish; omit
hamburger for use as side dish. Shell will soften quicker if baked covered.
Remove cover before end of cooking so top will be crispy.
