Eggplant Pull-Apart “Bread”
Nothing is better than a delicious and creative vegetable food. This Eggplant Pull-Apart “Bread” is one of them. Eggplant is cored into a large crosshatch pattern (about ¾ of the way through), brushed with a mixture of olive oil, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper, stuffed with shredded mozzarella, wrapped in foil, and baked until tender and melty. Coming out cheesy and flavorful, this eggplant surely gets you hooked. Yummy!
