Halve two medium eggplants and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving sturdy shells. In a skillet, cook ground beef with chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced tomatoes until browned. Stir in the chopped eggplant flesh and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Fill the eggplant shells with the beef mixture, top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes until the eggplant is tender and the cheese is bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil before serving. This version focuses on keto consistency: protein and vegetables stay central, added starches are avoided, and the final dish is meant to feel filling without becoming heavy. The method is simple enough for weeknights but detailed enough to keep the texture, seasoning, and serving style reliable.
