For a richer flavor, sauté the diced eggplant with a clove of minced garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil before mixing it with the stuffing. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Gruyere, mozzarella, or even a little goat cheese would be delicious. If you're short on time, you can use pre-made stuffing. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for added visual appeal and freshness.
