INGREDIENTS

1 medium slice Eggplant (150g)

1 large Egg

2 Egg Whites

20g Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs

1 oz Parmesan Cheese (28g)

1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)

1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)

Fresh Basil (a few sprigs)

Olive Oil Spray

Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly salt the slices and let them rest for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture; then pat dry.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk together the whole egg and egg whites. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg mixture, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.

• 5

  Place the breaded eggplant slices on the baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil spray.

• 6

  Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the eggplant is tender and the coating is crispy, flipping halfway through.

• 7

  Once baked, top each slice with a spoonful of marinara sauce, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and a piece of mozzarella cheese.

• 8

  Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

• 9

  Garnish with fresh basil leaves and an extra sprinkle of your seasonings before serving.
