Step 1:
For this recipe, we will need the products listed in the list.
Step 2:
From clean eggplants we cut off the "tails", make longitudinal incisions and take out the seeds with a spoon. We put a saucepan with salted water on medium heat and wait for boiling. We put our eggplants in boiling water for about five minutes. Then drain the water through a colander.
Step 3:
Prepare the filling. Grate Dutch cheese.
Step 4:
Hard-boiled eggs for 10 minutes, cooled, cleaned and grated.
Step 5:
Mix cheese and eggs with melted butter. Add turmeric to taste. The filling is ready.
Step 6:
We spread the eggplants on a greased baking sheet, put the filling and bake them in the oven at 140-160C.
Step 7:
Sprinkle the finished dish with garlic passed through the garlic press for additional taste and aroma. in the homeland of this recipe, eggplant is served with a fermented milk drink - matsun. But you can use yogurt, it will also be delicious. I also recommend to serve fresh greens to such eggplants, which at all times perfectly combined with any vegetables.

I first heard about eggplant with cheese and garlic filling in Yerevan from my friend, an expert in oriental cuisine. He generously told me how to bake eggplant with cheese and garlic in the oven. If the company goes to shish kebabs, then when he marinates them and directs the preparation, the shish kebabs turn out excellent. One day I had a few eggplants left, and the ideas of dishes from them were completely exhausted. I turned to a friend and he happily sent me an SMS with a culinary recipe for eggplant with cheese and garlic filling, which I immediately prepared. To say that I liked it is not enough, this unique amazing dish of Armenian cuisine made me run to the store again for eggplant and garlic, which by that time had run out.

Please note that in some cases there is no need to remove the bitterness from eggplants - usually young vegetables are not bitter, as well as some special varieties of them.
