Ever heard of Imam Bayildi? We thought so! It’s a delicious turkish dish that consists of eggplant stuffed with tomatoes, onion, and garlic. But that is not set in stone. To make it even better, top each eggplant with mozzarella and cheddar! Cheese and eggplant go together perfectly! Still not satisfied? Sprinkle some walnuts to give it that nice crunchy texture!
