INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1 tablespoon Breadcrumbs (15g)
1 cup Marinara Sauce (240g)
3/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (84g)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly sprinkle salt on both sides and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
Pat the eggplant slices dry with a paper towel. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
In a shallow bowl, gently beat the egg. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg, then lightly coat with breadcrumbs.
Arrange the breadcrumb-coated eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet and spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Return the eggplant slices to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your Baked Eggplant Parmesan!
