INGREDIENTS
200g Eggplant
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1 Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Season lightly with salt if desired and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In another plate, add the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the beaten egg, then dredge evenly in the breadcrumbs, ensuring a light coating.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until they start to turn golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice. Sprinkle shredded low-fat mozzarella on top.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
Optionally, dollop fat-free Greek yogurt over the top as a fresh, protein-rich garnish before serving.
