Savory Beefed Up Eggplant

2 small eggplant, about 1 1/4 pounds
1 pound of ground beef
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup ( 2ounces) of shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup of soft breadcrumbs
3/4 teaspoon of dried whole rosemary, crushed
Fresh parsley sprigs
Additional grated Parmesan cheese

Cut eggplant in half lengthwise; scoop out and reserve pulp, leaving 1/4 inch shell. Place eggplant shells, cut side down, in a shallow dish. Cover with heavy duty plastic wrap, and vent to allow steam to escape; microwave at HIGH for 2 minutes.

Remove eggplant shells, and invert onto paper towels. Chop enough reserved eggplant pulp to yield 2 cups. Combine chopped eggplant, beef, onion, and garlic in a plastic colander. Place colander over a bowl. Microwave at HIGH for 2 minutes. Stir to crumble beef. Continue microwaving at HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes.

Sprinkle salt over beef mixture. Combine beef mixture, Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, and rosemary. Spoon evenly into eggplant shells.

Place filled shells in a shallow dish. Cover with heavy duty plastic wrap and vent to allow steam to escape. Microwave at HIGH for 6 to 8 minutes or until eggplant is tender.

Garnish with parsley sprigs and additional Parmesan cheese before serving.
