Cut the part of the eggplant that was removed into small pieces. Place the eggplant boats (hallow skins) with the cut side up on a greased baking dish.

Top with a sprinkling of mozarella cheese and a sprinkle of dried parsley. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, while you frequently baste the eggplant with tomato juices it is sitting in. The eggplant is ready when they are soft. Serve warm, and enjoy!
