INGREDIENTS
1 medium slice (approx. 100g) Eggplant
4 large Egg Whites
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly season them with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a shallow dish, pour the egg whites. In another shallow bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg whites, letting the excess drip off, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each slice lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the coating is crispy, turning halfway through for even crisping.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella evenly over the slices.
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and lightly golden.
Serve immediately and enjoy a healthier, protein-packed twist on classic Eggplant Parmesan.
