INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (56g)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (20g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
A handful of Fresh Basil and Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture; then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In a separate bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Dip each eggplant slice first in the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices become lightly golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and transfer the eggplant slices to an oven-safe dish. Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan.
Scatter fresh basil and parsley over the top and return the dish to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, enjoying the harmonious blend of crispy textures and savory, herbal flavors.
