INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (approx. 300g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
3/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (78g)
1 large Hard-Boiled Egg
2 cups Arugula
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Bake the eggplant slices for about 20-25 minutes until they begin to become tender and slightly golden.
Meanwhile, prepare the salad by tossing arugula with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Remove the eggplant from the oven. Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice, then sprinkle evenly with the part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Plate the baked eggplant with a side of fresh arugula salad. Top the dish with a sliced or quartered hard-boiled egg for an extra protein boost.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light yet flavorful Baked Eggplant Parmesan with Fresh Greens.
