INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
3 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (85g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (120g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds and lightly salt them to draw out moisture.
Set up a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer.
Lightly brush the eggplant with olive oil and sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the slices to create a crispy coating.
Bake the eggplant for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are tender and the breadcrumb coating is golden and crispy.
Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce on each baked eggplant slice. Top evenly with 3 oz of mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, and serve immediately alongside a 1/2 cup serving of nonfat Greek yogurt.
