INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (approx. 150g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (approx. 120g)
3/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (approx. 84g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Lightly salt them and let sit for 10 minutes to remove moisture, then pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with Italian seasoning. In another bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip each eggplant slice into the egg mixture followed by a coating of breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until eggplant is tender and the coating is crisp.
Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over the baked slices, sprinkle with low-fat mozzarella and a touch of parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired and serve warm as a filling, flavorful Hero.
