INGREDIENTS
1 portion Eggplant (150g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
0.67 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (56g)
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)
2 large Eggs
Fresh Basil sprigs
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the 2 eggs. In another small bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until they begin to turn golden and are tender.
Remove the tray from the oven. Spoon marinara sauce over each slice, then layer with low-fat mozzarella and sprinkle Parmesan on top.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs and serve warm.
