    4. Place eggplant on a parchment lined sheet pan. Brush eggplant with olive oil.
    5. Crack one egg into each eggplant hole.

    Recipe Notes

    I don't have a tiny circle cookie cutter to cut a hole in the center of the eggplant. If you do, great use it! Another way to do this is trace a tablespoon measuring spoon with a knife and the cut that out. I actually found using a children's liquid measuring cup for medicine is the perfect size, so you can try that too!
