Steps
1Preheat the oven to 220°C (440°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Add whole eggplants to it.

3If using dry mince, rinse well under running water using a sieve. Drain excess water. Skip if using ready plant-based mince.
4Add mince, canned tomatoes, syrup, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to a small bowl.
5Mix to combine. Set aside to soak.
6Make the cheese. Add milk, nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder and salt to a small saucepan. Add potato starch last.
7Whisk to combine.
8Set heat to medium (induction #5) and whisk continuously until it begins to thicken. Turn off the heat and continue whisking until very smooth. Set aside.
9Remove the eggplants from the oven. Peel off skin and place fillet into a casserole or oven-safe dish.
10Spread the soaked mince over the eggplant base.
