INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (150g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (28g)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, shredded (56g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/2 cup Fresh Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a paper towel. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry.
Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten egg, ensuring a light coating.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a lightly greased baking tray. Spoon a thin layer of fresh marinara sauce over each slice.
Sprinkle whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the sauced slices.
Top each with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the assembled slices and bake for 20 minutes or until the eggplant is tender and the cheeses are bubbly.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
