Healthier Eggplant Parmesan II image

I like this recipe because it is not fried and very tasty. I like to make it healthier by using whole wheat breadcrumbs and reducing the amount of fat. Also, by using mostly egg-whites instead of whole eggs I am able to reduce the cholesterol level.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole egg
3 egg whites
1 tablespoon water
3 eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups whole wheat bread crumbs
6 cups spaghetti sauce, divided
¾ pound part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
½ teaspoon dried basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat together egg, egg whites, and water in a shallow bowl. Dip eggplant slices in egg, then bread crumbs. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until fork tender, 7 to 10 minutes on each side.
  • Spread spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place a layer of eggplant slices in the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with cheeses. Sprinkle basil on top.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes.

This dish was a disaster. The eggplant was soggy and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the sauce and it turned out much better.

This dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it was still good. I might try making it again with less cheese next time.
