INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
2 Large Eggs
30g Breadcrumbs
25g Parmesan Cheese
125g Marinara Sauce
56g Part-Skim Mozzarella
Fresh Basil (5 leaves)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Optionally, lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each eggplant slice first in the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the slices are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even baking.
Once baked, arrange the eggplant slices on a serving dish. Spoon a layer of marinara sauce over each slice, then sprinkle with shredded part-skim mozzarella.
Return the dish to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
