INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (~300g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (~124g)
1/2 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (~56g)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese (~10g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~30g)
1 large Egg
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly spray or brush both sides with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, whisk the egg. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with dried Italian herbs if desired.
Dip each eggplant slice first in the egg, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
Remove the slices from the oven. Spoon a small amount of marinara sauce over each slice, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan.
Return the eggplant to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Garnish with fresh basil if available, and serve warm for a delicious, nutrient-packed meal.
