I found my recipe through Whole Foods Market. This was a hit in my house! The Eggplant with the breadcrumbs made for a savory dish that we both loved. I did make some adaptations to the recipe to make it a little healthier and it still turned out great!
Recipe:
1 large eggplant, sliced lengthwise. I was able to fit about 6.
2 egg whites- The original said the whole egg, but eliminating the yolk makes it a little healthier :) 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil1 Jar tomato sauce 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Take the eggplant slices and coat them in the egg whites and then in the bread crumbs.
3. Place them on a cookie sheet and stick them in the oven to bake for 15 min and then flip them and let the other side bake for 10 min.
4. Once the are done, increase the oven temp to 475.
5. Take a baking dish and layer the tomato sauce, then eggplant, then cheese and repeat while ending with cheese.
6. Bake for about 15 min until the cheese is melted :)
This was the best recipe that I could find without having to fry the eggplant. It was a great, easy, meal and we almost didn't miss our chicken! Here is a picture of the finished product:
