Keto Stuffed Eggplant with Ground Beef and Cheese
A flavorful keto dinner featuring eggplant halves filled with a savory ground beef mixture, topped with melted cheeses and baked to perfection.
Halve two medium eggplants and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving sturdy shells. In a skillet, cook ground beef with chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced tomatoes until browned. Stir in the chopped eggplant flesh and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Fill the eggplant shells with the beef mixture, top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes until the eggplant is tender and the cheese is bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
