INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Eggplant slices
1 cup Cauliflower florets
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the pan. Cook until just browned, stirring to break it up into small pieces. Season with a pinch of salt and Italian seasoning.
In a blender, combine the cauliflower florets and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth to create a creamy topping. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
In a baking dish, layer half of the eggplant slices. Evenly distribute the sautéed beef over the eggplant layer, then top with the remaining eggplant slices.
Spread the creamy cauliflower mixture evenly over the eggplant layers.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the layers are heated through and the topping is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
