CHEESY LOW-CARB EGGPLANT PARMESAN
I LOVE eggplant parmesan, and this is my favorite version that I've come up with so far. I made it low-carb when my husband and I were on the South Beach diet a few years ago, and I actually prefer it this way now! To mix things up, I'll sometimes add fresh basil and/or zucchini slices in between layers, or use bulk sausage instead of hamburger, but it's wonderful just the way it is.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F Spray two cookie sheets with non-stick spray.
- In one bowl, beat the egg(s) until well incorporated. In another bowl, put your parmesan cheese along with any Italian seasonings you like, and salt and pepper.
- Slice eggplants into 1/2 inch slices. Dip each slice in the egg, then into the parmesan cheese until covered. Place on cookie sheet.
- Cook at 425 for 20 minutes, turning the eggplant slices half way through.
- Meanwhile, brown the hamburger.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350°F once the eggplant slices have finished cooking.
- Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Put a small amount of spaghetti sauce on the bottom, then layer half the eggplant slices on the bottom.
- Top the first layer of slices with half (or a little less) of remaining tomato sauce, then spread the ricotta evenly over the tomato sauce.
- Spread the hamburger evenly over the ricotta.
- Use the remaining eggplant slices to layer over the hamburger. Cover with remaining tomato sauce, then the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, then let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
