Eggplant Omelet Boats is how I cook eggplant which my kids love. Although I have cooked eggplant in so many ways, like this Pork Stuff Eggplant Boat , this recipe is by far my kids' favorite. My kids do not like the eggplant skin, so most of the time I have to peel them before cooking which is not a very good idea,by the way, because most of the eggplant's nutrients are mostly in its skin... so I bake it to make the skin very soft and I added egg and ground turkey (or any ground meat) to up its health benefits.
