Layered Eggplant and Lean Ground Beef Bake with Creamy Herb Topping
Enjoy a savory layered bake featuring tender slices of eggplant, lean ground beef, and a luscious creamy herb topping that perfectly balances richness with fresh, aromatic herbs for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (93% lean)
1 medium Eggplant (approx. 200g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Brush the slices lightly with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until they soften slightly.
While the eggplant is roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef along with the minced garlic and cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil to form the creamy herb topping.
In a baking dish, layer the roasted eggplant slices and browned beef. Start with a layer of eggplant, then add a layer of beef. Repeat if necessary to use up all ingredients, finishing with an eggplant layer on top.
Spread the creamy herb topping evenly over the final layer.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld.
Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving.
