INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (458g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
3/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (84g)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/2 cup Fat-Free Cottage Cheese (113g)
4 sprigs Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Optionally, lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow dish, whisk the egg. Place the whole wheat breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Dip each eggplant slice first in the egg, letting any excess drip off, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices in the prepared baking dish. Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella evenly over the sauced eggplant and top with grated Parmesan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and top with dollops of fat-free cottage cheese and garnish with fresh basil sprigs.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, healthy twist on eggplant Parmesan.
